\nFOR THE CABBAGE ROLLS<\/p>\n
1 pound ground beef I use 90% lean
\n1 cup cooked rice
\n1\/2 cup onion finely chopped
\n1 teaspoon garlic minced
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon pepper
\n1\/4 cup fresh parsley leaves chopped, divided use
\n1 egg
\n1 head cabbage
\ncooking spray<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the tomato sauce: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes or until translucent.<\/p>\n
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt and pepper to the pot.<\/p>\n
Stir in the brown sugar and red wine vinegar. Bring to a simmer.<\/p>\n
Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n
While the sauce is simmering, assemble the cabbage rolls. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.<\/p>\n
Immerse the cabbage head in the boiling water. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until cabbage leaves are pliable. Peel 12 large leaves off the cabbage.<\/p>\n
Place the ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of parsley and egg in a bowl. Add 1\/2 cup of the tomato sauce to the bowl. Stir to combine.<\/p>\n
Lay each cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Use a small knife to cut a V-shaped notch to remove the thick part of the cabbage rib.<\/p>\n
Shape 1\/3 of a cup of the meat mixture into a log shape and place in the center of a cabbage leaf. Roll the cabbage leaf around the meat mixture. Repeat with remaining meat and cabbage leaves.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.<\/p>\n
Coat a 9\u2033x13\u2033 pan with cooking spray. Place 1\/2 of the tomato sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Place the cabbage rolls, seam side down, in the dish. Top with remaining sauce.<\/p>\n
Cover with foil. Bake for 60-90 minutes or until cabbage is tender and meat is cooked through.<\/p>\n
Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley, then serve.<\/p>\n
