Cabbage rolls

Once cabbage is cool enough to handle, carefully remove leaves and cut out core from each leaf. Once you start taking leaves off, you’ll likely need to add the cabbage back to the boiling water (to soften more leaves).

Just boil for another bit, let cool enough to handle and continue removing leaves.
Place some cabbage leaves on the bottom of a deep 9″ x 13″ baking dish or roasting pan.

Taking one leaf at a time, distribute about ¼ cup of ground beef mixture on top and wrap up (fold in sides and roll up, placing in prepared dish, seam side down.

Continue with remaining ground beef mixture/leaves.
Combine remaining tomato sauce with ½ cup of cabbage water. Whisk to incorporate everything. Pour over top of cabbage rolls.

Here are some variations you can try for your cabbage rolls:

1. Different Meats: Instead of lean ground beef, you can use ground turkey, chicken, or pork for a lighter option.
2. Grain Alternatives: Swap out the long-grain rice for quinoa, barley, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
3. Vegetarian Option: Use a mixture of lentils, mushrooms, and chopped vegetables as a filling instead of meat.
4. Spice it Up: Add different spices like cumin, paprika, or smoked paprika for a unique flavor profile.
5. Cheese Filling: Mix in some shredded cheese like mozzarella or feta into the filling for added creaminess.
6. Sauce Variations: Instead of tomato sauce, you can use a mix of cream of mushroom soup or a spicy salsa for a different taste.
7. Herb Variations: Experiment with different herbs such as thyme, basil, or oregano to change the flavor.

Feel free to mix and match these ideas to create a cabbage roll that suits your taste!
