Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 large head of cabbage -- cored

1 medium onion -- chopped

1/2 cup raisins, seedless -- *see Note

2 tablespoons fresh parsley -- minced

1 teaspoon sugar -- or other natural sweetener

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper -- ground

salt and pepper -- to taste

3 cups cooked brown rice

1 tablespoon lemon juice -- fresh

3/4 cup water

3/4 cup apple juice

 

1) Steam the cabbage in a large pot with steamer rack until the first

few

layers of leaves are softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pot and

allow cabbage to cool.

 

 

2) Sauté the onion in a bit of water or in a non-stick pan until

softened,

about 5 minutes. Add raisins, parsley, sugar, allspice and cinnamon,

then

season with cayenne, salt & pepper. Mix well. Remove from the heat and

stir in the rice and lemon juice and mix again.

 

3) Remove as many softened leaves of cabbage and lay rib side down.

Place

about 1/3 cup of stuffing in each leaf and roll, tucking the sides in so

the filling doesn't fall out. Steam more cabbage leaves if necessary.

 

4) Place the cabbage rolls in the slow cooker, seam side down, then add

the water and apple juice. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or

until

the cabbage is tender. Serve hot.
