-------- ------------ --------------------------------

water for boiling

1 large green cabbage

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large leek -- cleaned & finely chopped or 1 medium onion,

chopped

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup finely chopped carrots

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 cups cooked white or brown rice

1/2 cup tomato juice

3 tomatoes -- seeded & chopped

3/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

 

Prepare cabbage: Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Cut deeply around

core at base of cabbage, but do not try to remove it. Immerse entire cabbage in

boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from water and peel off 12 cabbage

leaves. If leaves become difficult to remove, repeat the process to soften

inner leaves. Remove tough stem from base of each leaf. With remaining

cabbage, finely shred 1 cup of cabbage to use in filling.

 

Heat butter or margarine in a large skillet on medium=high heat. Saute shredded

cabbage, leek, celery, and carrots for about 10 minutes until vegetables begin

to soften. Stir in marjoram, thyme, salt and pepper. Gently stir in rice.

Taste and adjust seasonings.

 

Fill each cabbage with 1/12 of the rice filling. Place a portion on the base of

each leaf just about notched area, fold ends neatly around it, and roll. Use a

toothpick to secure ends.

 

Place stuffed cabbage seam side down on a rack in the slow cooker. Pour tomato

juice and chopped tomatoes over cabbage. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 to 7

hours. Transfer cabbage rolls to a serving platter. Stir sour cream into

remaining juice and pour over rolls. Serve immediately.
