Gołąbki (Poland)
Gołąbki,It is a traditional Polish dish consisting of cabbage leaves stuffed with a mixture of ground beef and rice. The entire mixture is then rolled and cooked in a mushroom or tomato-based sauce. Gołąbki means small pigeons in Polish, referring to their compact shape and size.
The dish is usually served garnished with fresh herbs and sour cream during the festive season, while mashed potatoes are typically served on the side. It is believed that King Casimir IV and the Grand Duke of Lithuania fed their troops with this comforting, hearty meal before going into battle and ultimately ensured their victory.
Today, the dish is also popular in the United States, particularly in Polish-American communities.
