My husband's great about trying new recipes—like this one I experimented with before getting just right! We're the parents of a girl, 6 and a boy, 4.
Ingredients:
sauce:
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 garlic clove, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
filling:
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large head cabbage (4 pounds)
3/4 cup cooked rice
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2-1/4 cups water, divided
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Combine sauce ingredients; set aside. In a skillet, cook beef and onion until meat is browned and onion is tender; remove from the heat and drain.
2. Leaving a 1-in. shell and the core intact, cut out and chop the inside of the cabbage. To beef, add 1 cup chopped cabbage, 1 cup sauce, rice, egg, salt and pepper; mix well. Spoon into cabbage shell.
3. Place 2 cups water, the remaining chopped cabbage and the remaining sauce in a Dutch oven; mix well. Carefully add stuffed cabbage, meat side up. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1-1/2 hours or until whole cabbage is tender. Remove cabbage to a serving platter and keep warm.
4. Combine the cornstarch and remaining water; add to Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; boil for 2 minutes. Pour over the cabbage; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cut into wedges to serve. Yield: 8 servings.
