  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoons dried parsley

  • 1 (14.5 ounce each) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ¾ cups tomato sauce divided
  • 1 (10.75 ounce each) can condensed tomato soup

Instructions

  1. Place cabbage leaves into boiling water for about 2 minutes until they soften, then set them aside to cool.
  2. Heat oven to 350°F.
  3. Prepare rice following package instructions but shorten cooking by 5 minutes to keep it slightly underdone. Set aside.

  5. Combine remaining tomato sauce with condensed tomato soup and spread a thin layer of this sauce in a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
  6. Trim thick stems from cabbage leaves then place about ¼ to ⅓ cup filling in the middle of each leaf. Fold sides over the filling and roll tightly seam side down into the pan. Repeat with all leaves and filling.
  7. Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled cabbage and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 75 to 90 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • To separate cabbage leaves, cut approximately ¼ inch from the base and immerse the whole head in boiling water for 2 minutes
  • Peel softened leaves and repeat until all leaves are removed
  • Trim thick stems from boiled leaves
  • For smaller leaves, overlap to fill even if uneven
  • Leftover filling can be added to tomato soup or stuffed into zucchini or bell peppers
  • Cabbage rolls freeze well before or after baking
