Cabbage Rolls with Mushroom Sauce
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed, chopped
2 tbsp butter
3/4 cup uncooked rice
½ lb ground beef or veal
½ lb ground pork
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 whole head of cabbage (about 3 lbs)
boiling water
2 cups beef stock or broth
note: Superior Stock is great in this recipe
1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup

1.  Sauté onion and garlic in butter in a large skillet, about 5 minutes.  Add rice,
meat, salt and pepper.  Stir-fry just to mix well.  Remove from heat.

2.  Remove core from cabbage.  Place whole head of cabbage in a large kettle of
boiling water.  Cover; cook for 3 minutes.  Remove softened outer leaves.  Repeat
until all leaves are softened and have been removed.  Cut thick stem
from each leaf.

3.  Taking one large cabbage leaf at a time, spoon 1 rounded tablespoonful of
meat mixture in bottom 1/3 of leaf.  Cover with a small leaf.  Roll bottom end up
about half way, tuck sides in, and continue rolling (loosely) from the bottom.  If
desired, secure with a wooden toothpick.  Repeat until all the filling and leaves
are used. Place cabbage rolls in a large casserole; do not make more than 2
layers.

4.  Combine beef stock/broth and mushroom soup; pour over cabbage rolls.

5.  Bake at 350 degrees about 1½ hours.
