When certain foods enter our mouths, they are so much more than just the delicious flavors we are tasting - they are also about nostalgia, family and love. One bite of my beloved Grandma Lil’s old-school, delicate and outrageous stuffed cabbage does that to me every time.
From our family to yours, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

What a sweet young man you have raised, Mother! He is not afraid to kiss his mother on camera! He also kissed his grandmother's picture! He will make some woman a wonderful husband, if he's not married yet! He is a real man, not afraid to show feelings. We need more of them today! Plus the recipe looks great! My mother always said marry a man who can cook, and she did! My mother could cook and my dad was a great cook!
A very nice family time together. So good to see that. I miss my family. They're all gone now but my grandmother's recipes live on through me.
Me too...
Shalom ! I'm an American Christian.
I LOVE CABBAGE ROLLS !!!!
Yes, it made me cry too. I lost my loving son, my forever 23 yrs old Peter Joseph, we used to enjoy cooking together so very much.
I love this. Made me cry. Wonderful dedication to your Mom and Grandmother! Nice recipe too!
Me too. You’re fortunate to have them. Mine are all gone 😢. Love watching you and your family. You feeding Richard...🤪.

Yesss me to remind me of my mom & I cooking in the kitchen together. R.i.P mom🙏❤️🙏
Moo pancakes
As a New York Jewish mama and grandma I had tears in my eyes...remembering my mom with love! I watched it twice and will do this with beef for my husband and younger daughter and will adapt with impossible burger for my older daughter and grandsons! ❤️ love watching you Jeff!
I’m in tears over this fabulous video. I’d give my left arm to be able to cook with my precious mama. This is by far my most loved video. In fact, I’ll be whipping this up this week. Thank you, Jeff, for bring your beautiful angel momma and Grammy for us to enjoy. You have warmed my heart tonight...
Awww, shucks. Thank you!
Brought back memories of my grandmother, thanks!!
This was just beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes. Treasure these times with your mother and family. I wish that my mother was still here, but I still have the memories.
I love to watch you both cooking together ,I am Hungarian born in Brasil but was raised with Hungarian food ,I got an instant pot in Japan where I live 50 years and I cook now for my grandchildren,thank you it reminds of the stuffed cabagge I use to eat at home 🏠
I’m honored to have learned your grandmothers recipe. My grandma made some of the best cabbage rolls, too, But I never got to ask how she did hers and now I feel like I have a great place to start! Thank you guys. God bless.
It’s so sweet to see you cook with your mom & honor your grandma. I hope you had a wonderful Passover.
Your mom is beautiful 🌹! I'm looking forward to using this recipe! Thanks!
Thanks for the warm family visit. My Mom used apple cider vinegar (not lemon juice) & RE-hydrated raisins or minced plum/prunes instead of sugar because it was more traditional. Done stovetop2hrs Thanks to Grandma Lil, and Gen, and all the rest...you're all missed, but remembered with Love.
I am actually Jewish and just found out I am also 17% Italian = my grandma was from Poland and that is where this dish originates. This video touched my heart. And I was raised in SI so we are neighbors!!
I have been making golabki for 40 years. What I do is throw my cabbage in the freezer. I get it out to thaw the night before I plan to make them. By morning they are all thawed and ready to roll. Plus you don't have to wait for the cabbage to cool. I also make the rice the day before as well and put it in the fridge. Next day it makes everything easy as there is no steaming or cooking or waiting for things to cool.
What a wonderful idea! I'd of never thought of that! A good cook has all sorts of shortcuts! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I love your name too!!
I used your frozen cabbage trick. Worked perfectly. No more burnt hands.
Do you cook the cabbage first, or does the freezing and thawing make them pliable, and easy to core?
@@theresak4343 I just froze it then took it out and let it thaw
my first time watching your videos and a mother of 4, 3 boys, I must tell you how sweet and heartwarming to watch you and your mom together and then to listen to you talk about your grandma Lil, what a boy you are.
Love this! Your family sounds so much like my Italian family. My dad's best friend was Jewish and they always said they were brothers. Together, they made the best stuffed cabbage. I believe stuffed cabbage is the great peace maker.
I went out and bought kosher salt just because of how his mom stressed it. She is a doll. Love her
I am not Jewish, but I have loved these rolls from the first moment I tasted them in Jersey (in one of the many Jewish delis there) and have never forgotten them. I'm Italian and I fully understand the "nostalgia" because we feel the same way about "the family". Thanks and God bless you and your "family".
I love stuffed cabbage, but I've never seen it cooked with the additional shredded cabbage and onions. What a great idea! I think it's time for me to order my very own Instant Pot...
Twillhead it really adds to it! And yes! Go for it! It's going to be your favorite appliance.
the old style (stove top) are still available, but by the time one pays for shipping, a new gasket, and a new regulator, you might as well buy a new one, but it never hurts to look around for 'vintage' items. I use one frequently,,, They are enjoyable. I have it stored with the 'slow cooker' LOL, but true.
Nothing but complments for your recipe. Everyone loved it. Thanks
We called these gulumpkis when I was a kid. Love them! Thanks for posting!
Love love love your Jewish tradition and family time. Such a blessing.
DAMMIT JEFFREY YOU MADE ME CRY WITH MY EYEBALLS. Completely farklempt! Your sweet grandmother would be so happy! (Was she your Bubbie?) And - OH MY GAWD, how adorable is your mommy?!? Adding this recipe to my favorites for the IP, because you haven't steered me wrong yet, and stuffed cabbage is one of my favorite dishes ever... and it's made even sweeter because it's your family's recipe. Happy Passover to your family!
God, I love this.
Thank you grandma Lil 💜💜💜🌹
"In the old fashioned squeeza". Your mom is wonderful!!!!! So glad I found your channel!!!!!!!
Happy Passover. What a joy to be able to share with family.
Had a hard time convincing my 80 something parents to try making cabbage rolls in the instant pot using MY great grandmother’s recipe from Russia, because there’d be absolutely no way you can do it in 18 minutes 😆. So I did it following mostly your recipe. The only difference being we use moose meat and pork 50/50 as well as krauted cabbage head leaves. Makes a huge difference. Also instead of tomato paste we use a can of tomato soup. My parents wouldn’t believe that I didn’t cook them in a roaster all day in the oven!
You have a warm and lovely mom 💜
Jeffrey, your mom is awesome...hi Shelly! Thank you for this recipe, I love cabbage rolls and can't wait to try this! You sure did raise a great son...enjoy your Instant Pot and Happy Mother's Day!
Shannon Avery very sweet of you! Thank you!
My grandma just died an she would make this but call it pigs an the blanket. Brings back so many memories 🙏💕 thank you for sharing may the Lord bless your family abundantly an I can’t wait to make this in the pressure cooker! ❤
My mom's friend just got me an Instant Pot, and now my mom and I have been binge-watching ALL of your episodes all day. Your mom is the cutest! (btw, my mom originally thought she was your sister before you introduced her.)
And did you know my mom made this same dish in China?
I love you, Meng!!!
I do now!

My Jewish mother made great stuffed cabbage. When I asked her for the recipe she said she would give it to me someday before she died. She passed at age 94 but I never got that recipe. When I spoke at her memorial I mentioned that she never gave me the recipe. All the Jewish ladies at the memorial sent me theirs. I am going to try this one because none I have were good enough. And I want to try it it my Instant Pot. Love your videos.
İ watched for the unity of family respect lov..at the end my eyes were full of tears..what a loyal bounded fam..l wish God let me feel these warm nice cute felings in my own life....TNX FOR PERFECT FEELİNGS AND TASTE ALONG:)
This makes me smile.
I had married a Polish fella way back when and of course this was one of his favorite meals. I hated making them but loved to eat them too. It took forever to boil the cabbage! After getting a divorce, I never made them again. Until today. Your video inspired me to do it in the pressure cooker. I used my recipe for the cabbage rolls but steamed the cabbage and cooked them according to your recipe. I don't have an IP and my pc doesn't get as hot so next time I'd adjust the time to steam the head a bit longer. Did you see what I wrote? "Next time." YES, doing it this way is so much easier and a lot less fuss and mess. Good meals, even traditional ones, don't have to take all day to cook anymore. Yay.
Carla S. this is so lovely to read! I can't thank you enough for your super kind words and am thrilled that you loved it!
I need to find myself a polish woman so that she can make these for me everyday. For now I shall make them for myself.
Pressure Luck Russians too :D

Grew up with this dish as a family staple meal-it brings back a lot of fond memories! From what I remember, this is is a similar recipe, but in my (Eastern European) Grandma's version, her secret ingredient was to use a bit of allspice, sparingly, not enough to overwhelm, but rather provide an additional, but light, background flavor. She also used a 3:1 mix of beef to pork with uncooked instant white rice, tomato juice, tabasco, a whole uncut onion, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt/pepper, bay leaf, parsley, and a cornstarch/water mix towards the end to help (slightly) thicken the sauce. When we knew it was on that day's menu, we really looked forward to it and loved her for making it! Potato pancakes were often the side dish she made to go along with it! A very hearty and special meal. Thanks for sharing yours...!

Hey Jeff,
My grandma had a very similar stuffed cabbage recipe and I know that no one in our family has EVER thought to make it in the pressure cooker. (For once I can teach the family something new in the kitchen!) Thanks for the recipe! I can tell your mom is a sweetheart! And may our grandmothers always rest in peace!
Kym
What a sweet comment, Kim! And yes, we won't ever make this stuffed cabbage the old way ever again!
Pressure Luck μ
Yes!! Same here! We have our traditional Romanian version almost the same but a bit different! Never even thought about the Instant Pot! Everything you were talking about from cutting the veins of the cabbage to cooking it for hours in the oven...made me think of my grandma and Mom who has passed away giving us wonderful family traditions. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
And what a good idea of how to “boil” or “soften” the cabbage!
What is the purpose of putting a teaspoon of Crisco into the instant pot?
Very nice measuring spoons, with a design on them. Best recipes are the older ones.
What a great idea to use the Instant pot to steam the cabbage, love that idea. Who doesn't love cabbage rolls, best food ever.
I loved this video of you and your mom cooking 6our Grandma’s recipe. We are Rom and have a similar recipe. Instead of using tomato and lemon juice and then adding sugar and paste to balance all that acid, we use stewed tomatoes and a box of Pacific creamy tomato soup. We don’t precook the rice so it did always cook low and slow but the rice keeps its texture. We do the loose cabbage too usually as padding from scorching the bottom rolls and keeping the top moist. Pressure cooking is genius; thank you!

Jeff, ...This dish is fantastic !!! I make it mine, by adding some fresh dill and fresh chopped parsley into the meat mix with fresh chopped garlic as well, and wow, this is spectacular !!! I love that your mom uses all the old school kitchen equipment to keep it special and to honor your grandma !!!! I've made this many times and I get raving compliments !!! You also explain everything so thoroughly and it makes cooking these recipes so easy !!!! Thank you so much Jeffrey !!! 💕
I’m so SO thrilled you enjoyed it!
We make Hungarian Cabbage Rolls. Ours is similar. We remove the leaves of the cabbage just like you did. Our meat mixture is 1 lb of ground beef and 1 lb of breakfast sausage. We do not precooked our rice. I put 2 handfuls in with my meat. I add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and combine well. Then I stuff the leaves and roll them up just like your mom did. We layer our cabbage rolls in the bottom of our covered roaster or in the Crock-Pot. I am sure it could be cooked in the InstaPot but I do not have one so I do not know how long they need to cook. We top the cabbage rolls with 2 pkgs of the saurkraut in the plastic bag mixed with a large can of stewed tomatoes. We add about 2 cups of water if cooking in the Crock-Pot and cook on high about 3-4 hours. If cooking in the roasting pan we add the water about half way up the side of the cabbage rolls and bake at 375 degrees covered for 3-4 hours. We serve this with cooked pinto beans and a cast iron skillet of cornbread. We cook these only once a year. On New Year's Day.
Donna Gribbins You had me at sauerkraut!😊❤️
YUM! Think I'll try your recipe in my crock pot...except I'll use cauliflower rice since I'm doing keto right now.
Oh my ! Got to try that. Thank you.
Donna Gribbins you need to do a video of that. Sounds delicious
Donna Gribbins ,
How sweet. What a wonderful son. Going to make tomorrow...
I love your Mommy! hope you do more videos with her. I'm making these now!
Thanks, Crystal! She's also in my Matzoh Ball and Ribs recipes!
Just made these today for dinner. I’ve never used a pressure cooker. I’m afraid to. Love the relationship you have with your Mom and there’s nothing like cooking a family recipe that’s been handed down generations. Makes you feel like those loved ones are still with you.
I've never actually gotten out a pen and paper to write down instructions before. I'm that excited to make this!! Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks Grandma Lil. Your loving family recipe will now be passes down through my family as well.
Great recipe in the instant pot. I've used apple sauce instead of sugar to cut the acid in the tomatoes, giving it a balance and body. I hadn't tried layering the shredded cabbage and onions. I'm going to try this recipe over the weekend. Your mom is a great sport.
Cabbage soup
So sweet. The cabbage rolls look delicious. Thank you for sharing.
LOVE! I wish there was a love button. I enjoyed watching you cook with you Mom. That sweet and sour sauce sounds divine. Definitely going to try this one.
Thank you so much! Let me know how it goes for you!
Soup Spice Everything Nice about

Aw, I'm getting teary at the end of the video, seeing Grandma's picture. You have such a lovely family! Thank you Mom and Grandma. I can see that you put lots of love into this recipe!
My Romanian jewish grandmother used to make passover seders for over 40 people out of a small galley kitchen. We never knew how she did it. She's been gone for years and the family is trying to recreate her recipes since she never measured. I'm not sure how you got 20 rolls out of one cabbage, I ran short after 10 rolls, but I just made meatballs out of the rest of the leftover meat and added them to the instant pot. I guess we can call it, "deconstructed stuffed cabbage!!!". It's cooking right now in the instant pot and I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Happy Passover.. Rest In Peace Grandma Lil..
I just bought an Instant Pot and came across your channel..I loved watching you and your beautiful Mom in this video. Can't wait to try making this stuffed cabbage! 😘👍🏻
Those measuring spoons are beautiful ❤
Similar ingredients to my Anuka's (Hungarian grandma) recipe. Personally I like a little more rice and use diced tomato too. Can't wait to try this and make it for my mom.
I LOVE your mom. My mother also cooked with no measurements, just taste. You and your mom brought back so many memories of cooking favorite dishes.
If you don't have family or friends , can you still give this recipe a try ? I love cabbage rolls. Great recipe by the way.
OF COURSE you can!!!
Steve Davis These freeze really well and are even better as leftovers.
I’m crying my guts out !!! My friend from Romania 🇷🇴 made us these beautiful cabbage rolls ... I’m so excited to make this recipe...I LOVE GRANDMA 👵 LIL ... THANK YOU !!
What a wonderful tribute to your beloved Grandmother! Lovely video and I look forward to trying your recipe in my electric pressure cooker! Thank you and your beautiful mother!
Silver Foodie thank YOU so much for the beatiful words!
I am in tears..so lovely, thanks you!
loved this video, your mom is so cute, do more with her. gonna try these CR's. Thank you Happy Hanaka
What a great team! Mother and Son! Beautiful Mother!
I love this video with you and your mom making your grandma's Stuffed Cabbage. (It's actually very similar to my mom's recipe only my mom uses apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice and brown sugar instead of white sugar.) Anyway, I'm making this tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day! :)
Thanks to your grandma💋
What a wonderful video. Your stuffed cabbage looked absolutely delicious ! I will definitely make this recipe with my InstantPot ! 😋
USNVA11 wonderful! Enjoy!!!
Very touching! Grandma left lots of legacy, lots of memories. They talk about her with so much love. God bless your family. :--))
Your mom is adorable!
Elysha Peters she thanks you!
Since I recently lost my mother and her mother years ago I never thought of getting my grandmothers recipe for stuffed cabbage. This was one of my favorites. This looks very similar to how my mother and grandmother made it. Thanks for sharing.
Found your page while searching for an Instant Pot cabbage roll recipe. Enjoyed your video of your cooking with your mom. I also had a Grandma Lil. Thanks so much for sharing!
It is my pleasure! Thanks for your kind words!!!
My mother, who is not Jewish, used to make her stuffed cabbage in her pressure cooker in the 60's and 70's. Her sauce was more savory than sweet and sour, because my dad preferred it that way. This is a great recipe and a great video!
Ginger Hammond
First of all, your Mom is so pretty! Second, I make stuffed cabbage all the time! My recipe is from my Polish Grandmother. Love seeing how this works in the instant pot?
Jeffrey you bring the joy back into cooking. Thank you so much. I love your Mom too!
I my family we add raisins to the meat to sweeten the rolls themselves. Otherwise the recipe is the same. LOL Thanks for translating it over to the Instant Pot. As I have 2 of them, a 6 AND an 8 quart, I would make the rice in the other... less time to stand over the stove. :)
I did them today. Sauce tastes a little bit different than what my family cooks but it is delicious! And the ease of peeling the cabbage leaves and not burning your hands! I love it!!! Thank you for this recipe, you made one Polish girl (living in America) very happy today ;-)
JUST GOT MY 6 QT. INSTANT POT READY TO GO WOULD YOU SAY I SHOULD HALVE THE RECIPE? THANK YOU MAMA FOR ME. I AM NOT JEWISH BUT I LOVE THE FOODS AND THE PEOPLE.
Vegan infant pot recipes
Excellent recipe! I have not made cabbage rolls ever, but I love them. Thank you for showing me an easy way, and thanks to your grandmother, she thought you both well.

Touching to see such a wonderful loving son with his sweet loving- old fashion “real” mother cook together, that in itself is a true blessing! I miss my son... so much nauchus!
Its a polish dish
great video were messianic i'll be makiung this for passover babi my grandmother from czechslovakia made this. it is so sweet to see a son and his mother cooking together shalom
What a lovely video! Your mum is adorable :-) I love that you used a recipe passed down, and using some of your nan's utensils.
I totally want a pressure cooker now too, what a great idea that is!
Lots of love from Sam, London x
Thank you so much for the very generous and sweet words, Samantha! :)
Your mom is so beautiful! Her sweet spirit shines through as she shares her heirloom utensils. You are richly blessed.
Thank you for sharing with us -a tradition -
They look fantastic.-this is what I’ll be making this weekend!
Great Video and great recipe. Got my Instant Pot 3 days ago and will soon try this recipe.
BTW, your mom needs to get a "show" of her own! She is wonderful. Thanks again.
Thank you! She'd love you for saying that!
Great. Let her know she has an audience of septuagenarian fans.
OMGoodness you two are so adorable!
This is like our Polish dish Gumpia that takes all day to make. I'm so excited to make this version of the sweet and sour version. Thanks for sharing your 3 generation recipe. You two are darling!
I get my 8 quart instant pot tomorrow so can't wait to try out this dish! Thanks for sharing this sweet generational dish with your adorable mother.
yes, my mother in law use to make ir. it is a good recipe. I will try it. but I think (like the French ) put some red wine in the sauce.
LOL!!!! It's called golumpki
around here we call them gwumpkies.
There is no W in golumpkis!!! Lol
This is definitely a winner. I think you should have your Mom on more often. My son loves to cook. I think I will buy him an Instant Pot.
Enjoyed your video. The lady doesn't look old enough to be your mother. She is aging well.
She'll love you for that
I agree...so pretty! Hair, nails, smile, etc!
You and your mom are just the best! My mom taught me to cook with all her southern recipes. Thank you for honoring traditions and family! Can't wait to try it!
delicious, but I stopped rolling them years ago....I put the meat and rice in the tomato sauce, chop the cabbage in a medium chop, then.....small ladle of sauce in the bottom, about 2" of cabbage to cover, more meat sauce, more cabbage.....till my 3" high pan is a bit over full....it will shrink......always sauce on the top layer.....bake 1 hr 350... I'm not a pressure cooker fan, so I'll save my time in the steaming and rolling step..... about 45 min to prep, 1 hr to cook....and since I'm single now, I bake mine in my little onion soup clay bowls or pyrex small bowls...freeze after cooking and cooling. 1 medium cabbage and a pound of meat plus 1 cup raw rice gets me 5--6 meals for 1
Me too :) also I use chorizo sausage meat- adds nice smokey flavor
Hi deemail, I was not a pressure cooker fan either. but I've had my Instant Pot 4 days now, and this is the 3rd recipe from pressure Luck I am trying. Jeff's roast and meatloaf were so fantastic, that I told my mom I know how to cook now! I got a 6 Qt 7-in-1 duo60 from Facebook marketplace for $50. Amazon has them for $99 + free shipping. I will never use a crockpot again, and I am using my Instant Pot everyday! What ever you cook in the IP is so much better than the oven. I feel way safer using this Instant Pot
than my Cuisinart Pressure Cooker. There is no guessing the Seal/ Vent valve on the instant pot. it is sturdier than the electric pressure cooker I have, and I don't know the magic of the instant pot, why the food comes out like a professional chef when I use this , and not when i use the crock pot or oven or the Cuisinart pressure cooker. I have an air fryer, all that did was dry out all the food. I am putting my crock pots and air fryer on facebook marketplace for sale. Now I know why everyone I know that has an Instant Pot just loves it.
Tomorrow I am trying Jeff's recipe for steak tidbits.
I call that reconstructed cabbage rolls or cabbage roll casserole.
What a great mom. You are so blessed.
I don't measure either ... is that something new? 🤣
This is so lovely. You are both so sweet to each other. Really enjoyable. Your mom is gorgeous!
If you like the chunkier version of the sauce, replace half the tomato juice with an equivalent amount of canned, diced tomato that comes in its juice...
AzraelThanatos that’s what I do too. I like my sauce a little chunkier. Thanks for the great tip!!
Just curious why you add the Crisco? Flavor? We used to make a similar version at home, no recipe either. Thank you so much! From one Shelley to another! Thank you Jeff! My 41 yr old son’s name! I just bought an instant pot and have made hard boiled eggs and applesauce. YOU are going to be my favorite 😍 to follow, I just know it!
We make our sauce with tomato paste, tinned diced tomato and thickened cream, pour it over our tray of rolls, and then bake it for 2 hours until the cream sauce gets thick. Holy crap its sooooooo good.
My nana always used plain tomato sauce instead of tomato juice, it is thicker and makes the sauce so good without being chunky
AzraelThanatos Yes that’s how my Polish husband taught me almost fifty years ago. He loved my stuffed cabbage rolls more than his nana’s. He passed in ‘17 and I still dream of making them. But to make them for one? Nope. Annie b
Such a family oriented guy! Love that bond
Hi everybody! I just made this with veganized ingredients - meat crumbles, a mirepoix of vegetables-and have put it back in the instant pot on slow cook for when we get home from work. Can’t wait to try it! I’ll let you know how it went…
Happy holidays!
It looks so delish. You're right. Your grandma would be proud of you both.
Put the cabbage in a plastic bag and freeze overnight, and your leaves will fall off easily.
Do you pre-boil it before you freeze it?? Or de-core it?
Ooo...great tip
I'm Polish and my mom came to my husband and me for Christmas and we cooked gołąbki which is basically exactly what you cooked here. I love it. My mom is not sure about IP so we cooked it in the pot but I will try to do it by myself according to your recipe 😊 thank you
I love watching your videos!! This recipe looks amazing! Could you freeze the leftovers? These would make great lunches for my husband to take to work.
Thank you so much, Mimi! You can 100% freeze the leftover and, if fact, prepare it days before and just freeze it all and then thaw it out in the fridge until serving day and then just cover with foil and pop in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes and serve!
Also, if you find you have lots of leftover sauce, that can be used as a delicious sweet & sour cabbage soup!
I love watching you and Mom cooking together your family dish. When you cook with love, the food tastes joyful
I don't favor kosher salt,my favorite is sea salt.
Carol Church Kosher is a method of preparation, not the item itself. Kosher is a verb.
I love Kosher salt. I use it on everything!
God bless your mom and grandmother!
I can understand why you're dumping sugar in there which really isn't a good thing for anyone who is diabetic an Italian such as myself we don't use sugars we use Sweet Basil fresh from the garden there is nothing like it and it does not screw up with your A1C count and it tastes tons better
You can use whatever you like but the traditional recipe(s) would NEVER have basil in it. You can substitute artificial sweetener to avoid A1C flux. Enjoy!

My mouth is watering already.
