Directions

1

Remove 12 large outer leaves from cabbage. Trim off thick part of each leaf. Add leaves and 1/2 teaspoon salt to boiling water. Allow to stand 5 minutes so they become pliable; drain.

2

Combine ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and eggs. Place 1/2 cup of meat mixture in hollow of each leaf. Fold the sides of leaf over stuffing; roll up from the thick end of leaf to make a neat roll. Arrange cabbage rolls, seam side down, in a single layer in lightly greased shallow 3-quart baking dish.

3

Combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, lemon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in saucepan; bring to a boil. Pour over cabbage rolls. Cover; bake at 375 degrees 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer. Serve topped with sauce.
