Instructions

  1. Prepare the cabbage according to the recipe description.
  2. Combine ingredients for filling.
  3. Place some of this mixture (about 1 1/2 tbsps) on each cabbage leaf & fold "envelope" fashion. If the leaf is tough, it will be easier to do this if you make a V shaped incision & remove a part of the coarser spine.
  4. You may find it easier to roll the cabbage around the filling and just "tuck" the ends into the roll with your fingers - whatever works best for you!
  5. Lay flap side down in a heavy Dutch oven.
  6. Combine sauce ingredients - use tomato juice if you don't like V8 - or you may add 1 cup of chicken broth to lessen the tomato flavour; pour over cabbage rolls.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees F for about an hour. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
