Gouloster is a traditional Eastern European dish that originated in Poland. It is a dish that is made up of ground pork and rice, wrapped in cabbage leaves and baked with sauerkraut. The result is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for cold winter evenings. Gouloster is known by many names, including golabki, golumpki, and stuffed cabbage rolls. The dish has been a staple in Eastern European cuisine for centuries, and variations of it can be found all over the world. It is a great way to use up leftover ingredients and create a delicious meal that will satisfy the whole family.

Instructions

1.	Cook rice according to package directions.
2.	In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, ground pork, garlic salt, salt, pepper, and chopped onion. Mix well.
3.	Preheat oven to 350°F.
4.	Cut the core out of the head of cabbage, leaving the head intact. Place the cabbage in a pot and fill with enough water to cover the cabbage. Bring the water to a boil and cook the cabbage for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the outer leaves start to loosen. Remove the cabbage from the pot and carefully separate the leaves, keeping them intact. Reserve 8 to 10 of the largest leaves.
5.	Take small handfuls of the pork-rice mixture and place into each cabbage leaf. Roll up the cabbage leaf to enclose the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
6.	Once all the cabbage rolls are in the baking dish, pour the sauerkraut over the top of them.
7.	Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the cabbage rolls are browned and the internal temperature registers 160°F on a meat thermometer.
8.	Serve hot.
