At Delis, the Rosh Hashana Rush

Flatulence jokes aside, stuffed cabbage (aka cabbage rolls) are one of the foods that were adapted by Jews living in Poland and Hungary to be kosher, replacing ground pork with beef. They can too often be dense and dry, but in some cases, such as this gem from Gleiberman's Delicatessen in Charlotte, NC, the cabbage wrap serves as a delicate blanket that envelops loosely formed, tender minced beef in a sweet tomato broth. It's the perfect post-synagogue lunch food during Rosh Hashanah.
