CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Prepare the cabbage leaves by cutting off ¼ inch from the bottom of the cabbage head. Place the whole cabbage head into a big pot of boiling water and boil for two minutes. Using long tongs gently peel off the outer cabbage leaves from the cabbage head inside the pot. Using the tongs you can roll the cabbage head around in the hot water and gently lift the leaves. After several layers have been removed you may have to use a knife to disconnect the leaf next to the core. Set aside the removed leaves to cool while you prepare the sauce and filling.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium bowl mix all of the sauce ingredients together.
• Spread a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
