Have you ever heard of galumpkis? I hadn't until last weekend when we attended our nephew's Ukrainian-American wedding in Westfield, Massachusetts.
At the reception for 300 guests, the tables were set with many wonderful cold salads, lox, a meat pâté and a plate with little fried foods that looked like a tiny Ukrainian versions of egg rolls and egg foo yong. After we were seated, bowls of mashed potatoes with a meat gravy, braised chicken pieces and the Galumpkis were served.
The Galumpkis are tiny appetizer size stuffed cabbage rolls that were filled with both ground beef and pork, rice, a little tomato paste and maybe some onions according to the bride's mother who is a caterer and prepared all of the food for this wedding. "You can make them any size", she told me. Here is a Glumpkis recipe that I found on the Foodnetwork that I can't wait to try.
