RFCJ RECIPE ARCHIVE
Posted by : Viviana Stuffed Cabbage, Vegetarian #3 - pareve
My family loves this recipe of stuffed cabbage. It has become a tradition to serve it on the first night of Sukkot. It is from the book "Lean and Luscious and Meatless" by Bobbie Hinman and Millie Snyder (ISBN 1-55958-110-7) This is what they write: "You'll love our slightly sweet, slightly sour version of an old favorite. We serve it over brown rice and, when we can, we cook it a day ahead. It tastes even better the next day." 1 medium head of cabbage Sauce 2 15-ounce cans tomato sauce (can be salt free) 1/4 cup lemon juice 3 Tblsp firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup chopped onions 1 cup chopped cabbage Filling 1 1/2 cups finely shredded carrots 1 1/2 cups finely shredded, unpeeled potatoes (9 ounces) 2 Tblsp lemon juice 1 Tblsp vegetable oil 1/4 cup plus 2 Tblsp whole wheat flour 1/2 cup of raisins 1 small apple, unpeeled finely shredded 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground ginger salt and pepper to taste Carefully remove 12 outside leaves from head of cabbage. Chop 1 cup of the remaining cabbage to use in the sauce and reserve remaining cabbage for another use. Place whole cabbage leaves in a large pot of boiling water and boil 5 minutes. Remove from water, place in a colander, and run under cold water for a few minutes. Drain. Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Filling: In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Add 1/3 cup of the sauce. Mix well. Assembly: Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 inch baking pan or spray with a nonstick cooking spray. Place 1/4 cup of filling near the base of each cabbage leaf. Roll tightly, folding in sides as you roll. Place rolls, seam side down, in prepared pan. Spoon remaining sauce evenly over rolls. cover tightly and bake 1 hour. Enjoy, Viviana
