Ingredients

  • 1 Head Green Cabbage

Procedure

  1. Cut the base of the cabbage off and discard the first few leaves. Begin steaming the cabbage in a pot over the stove while you prepare the filling

  3. Season with black pepper, garlic powder and salt, to taste. Mix together the rice and meat stuffing until thoroughly combined
  4. Once the cabbage is completely steamed (just as it begins to lose its green color), remove from heat and allow it to cool to the point where it can be handled
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of filling into each steamed cabbage leaf before wrapping and placing in a small casserole dish
  6. Mix the tomato sauce and water, then pour over the cabbage rolls. Cover with aluminum foil
  7. Bake in a 350°F Oven for about 1 hour, then remove and serve with sour cream
