Method

Boil whole head of cabbage with core removed until water is at rolling boil for 20 minutes.  Remove from water, drain & cool.

Mix all the stuffing ingredients together with a wooden spoon or your hands, until well mixed. Lay the cabbage leaves on a flat surface, with scissors cut out the thick vein in the center of each leaf. Place about 4 Tablespoons of stuffing mixture on the bottom third of each leaf and roll up like a "spring roll".

Place the rolls close together in a glass or ceramic casserole. Cover with sauce and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until the center rolls are rapidly boiling. This dish loves to be frozen and reheated.
