Recipe ingredients
- 12 medium green cabbage
- 1 pkg Yves Veggie Ground Round
- 2 cups (500 mL) cooked rice*
- 1 egg*
- 1–2 Tbsp. (15-30 mL) Irresistibles extra virgin olive oil*
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) Irresistibles thyme*
- 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt
- 1/8 tsp. (0.5 mL) pepper
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) canned tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) bread crumbs*
- 2 cups (500 mL) Irresistible tomato and basil sauce*
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
With knife, remove core from cabbage and immerse cabbage in large pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Using two forks, gently peel away one leaf at a time until you have removed 12 leaves from the cabbage. Take leaf out of water once it is removed from cabbage.
Remove center section of cabbage from water and bring water back to boil. Cook the 12 leaves for 5 minutes, then plunge leaves in cold water to arrest cooking.
Lay leaf on cutting board and remove 2 in. (5 cm) of rib from base of cabbage leaf. Repeat for all leaves and set aside.
In large bowl, mash Yves Veggie Ground Round with fork. Add rice and egg; mix well.
In saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until onions are soft. Stir in thyme, salt, pepper and tomato. Remove from heat; stir in parsley and breadcrumbs.
Add to Yves Veggie Ground Round mixture and stir well.
Place cabbage leaf on counter or cutting board and place approximately 1/2 cup (125 mL) filling onto center of leaf. Snugly fold all edges towards center of leaf to form a packet or roll. Place roll into lightly oiled casserole dish. Repeat this step using all 12 leaves.
Spread tomato sauce over rolls and bake for 30–40 minutes or until leaves are tender.
Suggestion
Precooking of leaves reduces amount of time needed to bake finished cabbage rolls in oven.* We recommend Selection and Irresistibles products.
