While cabbage is boiling mix the rest of the ingredients together.
Gently remove the cabbage leaf and put the meat mixture in the leaf and roll them up. Once rolled, put the seam side down

Glumpkies (or however you wish to transliterate or spell) are a family favorite with us. My brother has a 1 acre truck farm and always grows the key ingredients (tomatoes, cabbage, onion, garlic, italian parsley) and then has a glumpkie making party at the end of the summer. We make 100's. Put them up in 1 qt mason jars. Makes a good meal for two all winter.

Fresh produce from the garden is always the best!
