Total Time: About an hour prep time, and 60 + time for cooking

Yield: 6-8 or more

Source: My Mom's cookbook "I use Zaterain's". Mom used long grain white rice.

Ingredients:

I chopped the onion, garlic, pepper, celery and carrot with a food processor.

  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 1 small onion, chopped fine or minced
  • 1 small green pepper, chopped fine
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped fine
  • 2 large cloves of garlic, chopped fine
  • 1 large carrot, chopped fine
  • 1-1/2 rare ground beef
  • 1 lb box of Zaterain's Dirty Rice mix
  • 2 sugar (this enhances the taste)
  • tsp seasonings to taste; season salt, black pepper, oregano, basil (I used fresh cut basil) start by using an 1/8 of a tespoonful. Then taste test.
  • 2 olive oil
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp water
  • 2 cups butter
  • 2 Tbsp (14 oz) stewed tomatoes, blended
  • 1 cans (14 oz) diced tomatoes

Steps:

  1. Put on a very large pot of hot water. Immerse the head of cabbage after removing the core in the middle. Boil until leaves start falling off. As leaves fall off, using tongs, take the leaves out and place them on a platter. repeat doing this until all the leaves have cooked off.
