[Guest guest]

Here is a recipe that this cooked cabbage-hater enjoys:

 

Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Cabbage Rolls with Beans

1 large head green cabbage

1 can (15 oz.) black beans or red kidney beans, rinsed and drained (or 1.5 cups

home cooked)

1 cup cooked brown rice

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1/2 cup chopped celery

1 medium onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

3-1/2 cups marinara sauce or meatless spaghetti sauce (jarred or home cooked)

1/3 cup raisins

3 TB lemon juice

1TB packed brown sugar

Remove 8 large outer leaves from head of cabbage. In a Dutch oven cook cabbage

leaves in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes or just until leaves are limp. Drain

cabbage leaves. Trim the thick rib in center of each leaf. Set leaves aside.

Shred 4 cups of the remaining cabbage; place shredded cabbage in a 3-1/2 to 6

quart crock pot. In medium bowl combine beans, cooked rice, carrots, celery,

onion, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce. Divide bean mixture evenly

among the 8 cabbage leaves, using about 1/3 cup per leaf. Fold sides of leaf

over filling and roll up. Repeat with remaining cabbage rolls Combine remaining

marinara sauce, raisins, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Pour about half of the

sauce mixture over shredded cabbage in

cooker. Stir to mix. Place cabbage rolls atop shredded cabbage. Top with

remaining sauce.

Cover and cook on LOW heat setting for 7 to 9 hours or on HIGH heat setting for

3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours. Carefully remove the cooked cabbage rolls and serve with

the shredded cabbage.

Re: Crockpot Scandinavian Red Cabbage

 

 

What a wonderful idea... I have never tried making cabbage

in my crock pot but now you have inspired me to try it.

I think this week I will attempt to make my favorite

cabbage and noodles recipe in my crock.
