Cabbage à la Cluj/ Varza à la Cluj

Varza à la Cluj is a Transylvania style cabbage dish, almost as popular as stuffed cabbage, similar in taste but faster to be cooked.
Ingredients
1 sauerkraut or fresh cabbage
1 onion
2 pounds minced pork meat
4 Tbs grease or oil
1 cup sour cream
½ cup rice
salt
black pepper
dill
Preparation
Saute the onion in the grease, add the meat, salt, black pepper, from time to time add a spoon of water, this it will smother it down. Separately saute the chopped cabbage, add some salt and black pepper. Boil the rice in salty water. Coat the pot walls with grease (or oil), then create layers of cabbage, rice, meat and sour cream. Repeat this until all the ingredients are over and make sure you put a last layer of sour cream and dill on top of everything. Bake in oven 350 F for 35 minutes.
