Preparation

Step 1

Stack cabbage leaves loosely in large skillet and add 1-inch of water. Cover and steam cabbage leaves until soft. Cool. Combine ground beef, nutmeg, rice, water and eggs. Place 1/4 cup meat mixture in the center of each leaf; roll up and place seam side down in baking pan.

To make sauce, mash canned tomatoes and mix with tomato sauce.
Add brown sugar, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pour over cabbage rolls.

Bake covered dish in 400-degree oven for 1 hour; remove cover and bake 15 minutes more.
