I'd suggest removing the finished rolled cabbage from the pan while leaving most of the tomato in the pan. This will enable you to stir the sauce, mixing in the thin sauce that came from the rolled cabbage as it cooked.

Recipe is large, but you can pare it down. At 6# of meat 34 Halupki were made.
