CHEFS !! I need a quick answer
I'making a Hungarian version of stuffed cabbage, I have all of the ingreedents except SOUR SALT...which I have not been able to locate locally. (I'm still looking)
It seems that I can use lemon juice instead in a ratio of 5 ? to one? Any thoughts on this? |

One of my favorite foods.
I think my grandmother would just say use regular salt and forget the lemon. Unless you're absolutely obsessed with reproducing a specific recipe. The difference in taste probably wont be noticeable.

Worst case I'll try the lemon substitution...I am trying to replicate my Polish/Hungarian grandmothers recipe....the only one that sounds like it has sour salt...
One of the great tragedies ...the old Grandma recipes that were never written down, ingredients never measured, .....TOO SOON OLD, TOO LATE SMART... |

For the future, you can probably find citric acid at a natural foods cooperative or the like, anywhere with a really good bulk section. I buy citric acid in bulk for canning.

Well, In my haste to taste it I forgot to take pictures....time I remembered it was a mess.
It turned out very good, now I can't remember what bubbies dish actually, really..tasted like. I think it needs more salt than I used, and more rice in the meat mixture (called for 2 tablespoons in 2 # of meat) My wife starts to eat it then says...you know I really don't like stuffed cabbage, I never did ! Oh well, more for me......frozen in ziplocks... One other thing, the cabbage leaves were rather small and made it hard to wrap...but they generally did stay together..... ps: I now have enough sour salt for about 25 more batches ($1.50 at local specialty deli) |
