2. Combine beef, uncooked rice, salt and pepper and 3/4 of one of the cans of tomatoe puree.
   
   
3. Toss lightly-just enought to combine the ingredients. The consistancy of mixture should be fairly soupy but not runny.
   
   
4. Snip the core edge of each leaf so it will lay flat.Place a small amount of mixture on leaf and roll up loosely.
   
   
5. Pack the rolls in layers in a large pot.
   
   
6. Cover cabbage leaves with the remaining 1 1/4 cans of tomato puree.
   
   
7. Bring to a boil. Allow to simmer for 1 1/2 hours over low heat.
