This stuffed cabbage variation goes out to my mother, Joann and my dear grandmother, Isabel who made a similar dish when I was a young girl.
Ingredients
-
1 Medium Head of Cabbage
-
1 lb. Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon
-
1 cup finely Chopped Onion
-
1 Egg
-
Dash of Nu-Salt and Pepper
-
1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
-
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
-
12 oz Organic Tomato Paste
-
3 cups water
-
Toothpicks
-
Dash of Olive Oil
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-
Core the cabbage and place head down in a pot of boiling water (enough water to cover cabbage head). Turn off heat.
-
When cabbage softens, remove from water and separate leaves, leaving them whole.
-
Trim heavy vein down to make it look flat
-
Combine olive oil, onion, egg, seasonings of choice, rice and salmon in a bowl. Mix well.
-
In a separate pot mix tomato paste and water over low heat. Mix until smooth-do not boil.
-
In the center of each cabbage leaf place a nice dollop sized amount (about 3 tbsp. of this filling mixture). Fold two sides down toward center and roll. Secure with toothpicks.
-
Place cabbage sacks in a large casserole dish (spray with olive oil first) and pour tomato paste on top-covering cabbage sacks.
-
Place into oven for 30 minutes
-
Enjoy!
