I boiled the cabbage leaves so they would be nice and rollable (is that a word?). Cut out the large hard stem down the middle - then I laid a leaf down and started the filling.
This picture was more what I envisioned ... but my culinary skills do not match my mental image.
I filled several but they were not holding together well at all. I needed help. But no one was around.
So I decided the ingredients might look better as a casserole (and the ingredients would taste the same right?)
A layer of cabbage, the rice and filling, and another layer of rice and then the cabbage.
Garnish with a sprikle or two of pepper and tomato -- ready to finish off in the oven.
Cover with tomato juice or vegetable stock, and bake at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes.
