Instructions
Tomato Sauce:
- Place a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the onion once the oil is hot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian herbs, salt and pepper, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and red wine vinegar. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Cabbage Rolls:
- In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Immerse the cabbage head in the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the leaves are pliable.
- Remove from water and peel 12 large leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, onion powder, garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Italian herbs, two tablespoons of fresh parsley, and the egg until combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of the prepared tomato sauce to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Lay each cabbage leaf on a flat surface, and using a small knife, cut a V-shaped notch to remove the cabbage rib's thick part.
- Take 1/3 of a cup of the meat mixture and shape it into a log. Place it in the center of a cabbage leaf. Roll the cabbage leaf around the meat mixture. Repeat with the remaining meat and cabbage leaves.
Bake:
- Coat a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Pour half of the tomato sauce on the bottom, and arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Top with the remaining sauce.
- Cover with foil. Bake for 70-90 minutes or until cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through.
- Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.
