Vegetarian Cabbage Rolls

By Greywolf

This can also be made into a casserole by chopping the cabbage.

Hint: freeze the whole cabbage head for a day or two before making. Remove from freezer and thaw. It is much easier to work with than a boiled head and reduces the bitterness.

Ingredients

• 2 cups TVP rehydrated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup white rice
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp red pepper
• 2 tsp whole allspice (ground if making a casserole)
• 32 oz Garden Cocktail
• 1 cabbage

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 F.

If making cabbage rolls, line bottom of a large roasting pan with cabbage leaves. If making the casserole chop the cabbage into the roasting pan.

Mix all the ingredients, except the whole allspice and vegetable juice, together. Roll the desired amount into the cabbage, securing the sides while rolling, and place in the pot with the opening to the bottom.

Place the whole allspice into a cheesecloth pouch. Add the vegetable juice and the whole allspice to the pot.

Cook for about 2 hours at 325 F.
