Brown ground meat (I like turkey.) and onions. Salt and pepper to taste. Add shredded cabbage and carrots. Cook until vegetables are partially cooked and all the liquid is gone. Wrap about 1/3 cup filling in bread dough, place on greased cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees F until done.

Tilliliha

In a 500° F oven, braise 3- 5 pounds boney lamb or veal (neck bones, ribs, shin) meat for 15 minutes. Place meat in a deep pan and cover with water. Add onion, 2 T dry dill weed, and black pepper. Simmer until meat is falling off the bone.

Cool over a few hours and remove fat. Separate meat from bones. Strain broth. Add meat to broth reserving about a cup of liquid. Bring broth to a boil. Mix 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 c vinegar, salt to taste, and additional dill weed into reserved liquid. Stir reserved liquid into broth.
