vegetarian Recipe: Cabbage Rolls

Normally filled with a mixture of ground beef and rice, cabbage rolls are a staple in Eastern Europe and a favorite in many other countries. Try these vegetarian cabbage rolls stuffed with vegetables for an equally tasty main course.

Yield 6 servings
Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Tools
  • large pot
  • colander
  • sauce pan
  • wooden spoon
  • large frying pan
  • 9x13-inch baking dish (glass or ceramic)
  • small bowl
  • aluminum foil
Ingredients
  • 15 large green cabbage leaves
  • ¼ c white vinegar
  • 7½ oz package of Spanish-style rice mix
  • 15 oz stewed tomatoes with juice
  • 2 T vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 medium red or yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 2½ oz vegetarian ham or pepperoni, diced
  • 10 oz tomato soup
  • ½ c water
Directions Place cabbage in pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add vinegar, cover, and simmer until slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, prepare Spanish rice according to package directions, using the stewed tomatoes. Set aside.

Heat oil in frying pan over medium-high heat; add onion, pepper, and ham; and sauté for 5 minutes. Add to Spanish rice.

Preheat oven to 350. Grease baking dish.

Lay out a cabbage leaf, place a large scoop of the mixture inside, roll up leaf, and place in dish, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining cabbage and mixture.

Combine tomato soup and water, pour over cabbage rolls, cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake until cabbage is tender, about 1½ hours.
