Cabbage Rolls

[Macabre]

I was thinking of using the MSF crumbles, but I will also try one without them.  I may try these next week.  I'll post any successful recipes!

becca, if any of them are easy to make, I'd be interested in learning how to make vegetarian ones.

Mookie, I would wait and see if someone tries a recipe.  Some look easy, but I have not actually made vegetarian ones, and I most likely would not(I eat less than 50 carbs in a day, or lower).  They all look pretty easy, but I love to cook!  One was made by starting with a rice mix, and simply adding some sauteed veggies and maybe mushrooms?, and rolling into the cabbage, and adding a marinara on top.  That could be purchased in a jar as well.

I was thinking About using chopped mushrooms and kasha as a filling. That would probably work well.

This blog has pictures and helpful info and this recipe has raisins and lentils, too.

This has zucchini and mushrooms like most of the recipes I've seen, but the sauce looks different.

The article takes way too long to get to the recipe but pork-tofu lion's head for anyone who can take the allergens. http://mobile.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/07/a-tofu-throwdown-lions-head-with-cabbage-recipe.html

I think I posted a bum link in the WAYDT thread earlier.

This is from the Forks Over Knives Cookbook (I lent to a friend or I would have posted directly).  They were so yummy and soy free!  I only did one cup of the cooked rice portion and did a variety of veggies (zucchini, peppers, mushrooms) to make up the other two cups.  I joked and said this was the recipe to clean out the veggie drawer.

I do love their tomato sauce but any version can be subbed in.

Wow. These are great.  I made a vegetarian one without textured soy protein.

Here's what I did:
-1 zucchini diced (small)
-1 small container of crimini mushrooms diced (small)
-a couple handfuls of packaged, julienned carrots, chopped further
-small red bell pepper (actually I used three mini bells)
-basil
-tarragon
-thyme
-salt
-pepper

I sauteed this in a large skillet.

1 cup of quinoa cooked with 1 cup of vegetable stock and 1 cup of water.  When finished, I added it to the veggie mixture.

I added 6-10 tablespoons of shredded muenster cheese to the mixture

Then I rolled them in the cabbage leaves.

I used the sauce here:

Sauce
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 -2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/8-1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, to taste (I used a chipotle tabasco)

I don't have any vegetarian/safe worchestershire sauce right now, so I didn't use that. 


DS and DH loved these.

Making these today.

And as always I cannot remember whether or not to pre-cook the rice.  So, I'm putting this here to tell myself that I am pre-cooking it.  I think otherwise it will be too dry.

Anyway, we bought a HUGE cabbage, and a two pound ground pork, so I'm mixing with two pounds ground beef.  This is gonna be a lot of cabbage rolls.

Yum!!  They freeze well.

I have three nesting roasters. The middle one can fit a chicken, but maybe not enough trimmings.

Today, the two largest are full of rolls, and the smallest is full of a cabbage roll casserole.  I'm currently cooking the two smaller ones, which will be frozen.  The largest will be cooked for dinner tonight and might have some left overs.

Ds will not eat them.  (I tried to bribe him.  Told him I'd put in some ammunition {raisins} if he's eat it. He laughed but still says no.)

[Macabre]

SL the vegetarian ones I made were divine. Maybe he might like them over pork?

[SilverLining]

I use pork and beef combined.

It's the cabbage he hates.

[Macabre]

Making the veggie ones I posted above. They smell yummy!

[SilverLining]

I have not tried this recipe. I am planning to use the suggestion of using the IP to separate the cabbage leaves. I will cross post in IP thread.

They say to put a meatball size of mixture in roll. I put as much as I can fit in each leaf. Probably 4 times that sometimes.

Raising so I can find this soon.
