What's Cooking Wednesday - Wild Cabbage Rolls

“One of the things I learned to love living in Minnesota was wild rice. Here in New Jersey, it’s mostly available as a blend of brown rice which makes this a great recipe. I’m a fan of making it easy and Minute Rice has these lovely little pre-cooked single serving containers. I always have these in my pantry. Make it easy or go for broke and cook your own rice. Also, you can pick your protein. Ground beef, chicken, or turkey. I’m going to give sausage a whirl.” D.V.

Ingredients:

12 cabbage leaves 

1 cup Wild Rice or blend

1 egg 

½ cup milk 

1 small, diced onion 

8 oz can diced tomato 

1 tbsp. brown sugar 

1 tbsp. lemon juice 

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 

Boil cabbage leaves for 2 minutes and drain. 

Mix rice, egg, milk, onion, and salt and pepper together. 

Take approximately ¼ cup of this mixture and place it in the center of a leaf. 

Roll it while tucking in the ends. Place in your slow cooker or backing pan. 

Repeat this until all the leaves are filled and tucked in.

Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the top of the rolls. 

Cook in slow cooker high for 8 hours or bake at 350 for two hours.
