Gefullt Krautroladen (stuffed Cabbage Rolls)

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium bowl cover brown rice with hot water and soak for 3 hours.
Drain.  In a 2-quart saucepan combine rice, 3 cups water, and 1 1/2 t
salt. Simmer covered for 40 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
Add the dillseed, marjoram, and 1/2 t pepper. In a large skillet  saute
1 1/2 cups chopped onion in 3 T hot vegetable oil until soft,  about 6
to 8 minutes. Add paprika and garlic, continue cooking and  stirring
for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice mixture, eggs, bread crumbs,  and
parsley. Adjust seasonings to taste.  Core cabbage and, in a  large
pot, blanch the cabbage cored-side-down in boiling salted water  for 5
minutes or until it is softened.  Drain.  Remove 12 leaves and  cut off
one fourth of each leaf from the base. Arrange 1 leaf  curved-side down
on a square of dampened cheesecloth and place 3 T of  rice mixture in
the center. Wrap the leaf around the filling and  twist the corners of
the cheesecloth to form the leaf into a roll.  Continue making rolls
with remaining filling. Chop remaining cabbage  to make 3 cups and, in
a large frypan, saute with 1 cup chopped  onions and 2 T vegetable oil
until soft. Add tomatoes, vermouth,  broth, tomato paste, sugar, 1/2 t
salt and 1/4 t pepper. Simmer the  mixture for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Adjust seasonings.  Transfer cabbage-tomato sauce mixture
to a large baking dish. Arrange  the cabbage rolls close together in
one layer on the sauce. Spoon  some of the mixture over the rolls. Bake
at 325 degrees F for 1 1/2  hours. Baste rolls 4 to 5 times during
cooking.  Let the dish cool.  Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove
cheesecloth. Heat in  preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes before
serving.  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
