What do you do when it’s cold outside and your Honey brings you home a 5+ pound head of cabbage? It’s cabbage roll time!
Now my Mom taught me the old-fashioned way: roll up the meat, rice & spices into balls, wrap them in cabbage leaves and roast them in the oven with the tomato juice. But my dear, sweet, highly effective hubby suggested I try it the bachelor lazy man’s way.
And it worked like a dream! Seriously, there was practically no work except for the cabbage debris from the chopping and maybe the dishes.
But, hey, if you cook, it’s only fair that someone else does the dishes. Right?
This recipe will suit those with sensitive taste buds; and for people who like a little more zip, try a little hot sauce or add a little more sea salt!

WOW, sure wish I could taste the picture! Looks gooood!
I used to do this the labour intensive way too Steph, but now I’m going to try this one out next time I have a pile of people to feed. Just for one or two it would be too much unless I froze the rest, D’ya think it would still be good if I did that, and then re-heated just what I needed for a cold winter’s night? Wouldn’t want to waste one bit of this hearty meal. Thanks!
They turned out spectacularly, Dee! And yes, this cabbage stew freezes really well. 🙂
I use napa cabbage (Chinese) instead of regular cabbage; works great and easier to work with.
Thanks for the tip, Lynda!
Even easier… put in two bags of shredded coleslaw.
Nice tip, Elizabeth. Thanks!
