8-10 leaves of cabbage
1 lb. ground beef
3/4 cup minute rice
1 large grated onion
2 grated carrots
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
a handful minced parsley
2 eggs
16 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
Gently remove the cabbage leaves from the head. You want them to
be intact. It may help to steam the head briefly before attempting
this. Boil the leaves for a minute or two to make them soft enough
to roll.
Combine the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer, stirring,
until the sugar dissolves (it will dissolve faster if you pour the
lemon juice over it). Pour about 1/4 of the sauce into the bottom
of a casserole dish or lasagna pan.
Combine all of the filling ingredients in a bowl. Make a ball out
of a handful of the filling and roll it up in a cabbage leaf,
rolling from the soft end to the spiny end. Put the resulting roll
into the casserole dish with the sauce. Do this until you use up
all of the filling, making 8-10 cabbage rolls. Then pour the
remaining sauce over the top.
Bake approximately 30 minutes at 350 degrees. If you don't like
so much refined sugar in your diet, you can substitute about a cup
of raisins or prunes for the brown sugar.
When you have made all the cabbage rolls your cabbage will allow,
use the balance of the meat and make mini meat balls. This is what
I do when I mke this recipe. I would suggest using 1 1/2 lbs. meat
and 1 Tbsp. more of rice and a few of the smaller leaves also (with
the same amount of seasonings).
