3 lbs ground pork

1 large onion diced

2 1/2 tbsp. salt

From end to end, roll cabbage around pork ball. Insert ends of leaf into pork ball with thumb to make cabbage leaf stay wrapped. Set aside. Drain juice from sauerkraut and put sauerkraut in large pot. Cut up any left-over cabbage into strips, and add. Add cabbage rolls to pot and enough water to cover cabbage rolls.
