LAZY CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Oil a 9x13 casserole dish, preheat oven to 425˚F.
• Slice cabbage into 1/4" thin slices. Place in a heat proof bowl, cover with boiling water and let sit 10 min to soften. Drain and squeeze out excess water with your hands.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, ground pork, drained cabbage and 4 cups cooked rice. Grate 1/2 large onion into meat mixture. Add 2 eggs, 1 tsp Mrs Dash, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp salt, and 2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley. Mix well. Form into potato-shaped patties with your hands (each should be about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture). Arrange in oiled casserole.
• For the sauce, finely dice remaining 1/2 large onion. Heat a large pot over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil and 3 Tbsp butter. Add diced onion and sauté 5 minutes, stirring occassionally or until softened. Add julienned carrot and cook another 3 minutes or until softened. Add 2 cups marinara and 3 cups hot water and bring to a boil. Add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp Mrs Dash, or season to taste.
• Pour sauce over patties until they are nearly covered. Cover with foil and bake on medium rack at 425˚F for 40 min. To serve, plate the lazy stuffed cabbage and spoon the extra juice over the top. Serve with sour cream (my favorite) or plain Greek yogurt.

WE'LL BE MAKING SLOW COOKER CABBAGE ROLLS ALL WINTER LONG

Steps:

• Boil a pot of water and toss in a little sea salt. Prepare a large bowl or pot of cold water.
• Turn your cabbage upside down, carefully slice around the core and pull it out. There may be some parts of the core still inside, do your best to cut them out so you have a hole in the bottom of the cabbage.
• Once the water is boiling, place the cabbage down into the water with the core-end down. After about a minute, use your tongs and begin turning the cabbage in the water. Allow to boil for 5 minutes and then plunge the whole head of cabbage into the bowl of cold water or simply run it under cold water from your tap.
• Once slightly cooled, gently remove 12 cabbage leaves, being careful not to break.
• Heat a pot on medium heat and drizzle oil. Add the onions cool until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
• Pour in the crushed tomatoes, sea salt and pepper. Cover and allow to simmer while you prepare the filling.
• Place all filling ingredients in a bowl and mix so everything is well combined.
• To assemble, place about ¼ to ⅓ cup of filling into each cabbage roll. Fold in the sides and end of the leaf and then continue to roll until it's closed. Repeat until all the leaves and filling have been used.
• Place a little bit of sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker and then place the cabbage rolls in, seam side down.
• Pour the rest of the sauce on top. Turn on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
