Cabbage Rolls

I cooked this for my cooking club this week. It was so yummy. It is from my friend Allison's blog that I have gotten A LOT of my recipes from. Here are the directions!

Ingredients: 

1 lb. lean ground beef 

1 small apple, finely diced 

2 cups diced fresh spinach 

1/2 red onion, finely diced 

4 garlic cloves, minced 

2 tbsp. flat leaf italian parsley, chopped 

1 egg 

1 tsp paprika 

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp black pepper 

10 or so cabbage leaves 

1 can diced tomatoes 

1 cup chicken broth 

1 tbsp. dried basil 

black pepper to taste 

-Bring a large pot of water to a boil 

-While you are waiting for the water to boil, do the following: 

-In a medium size bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside 

-Remove the core from the head of cabbage and separate cabbage leaves 

-In a large bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients (from the beef to the pepper)

-Place the cabbage leaves, a few at a time, into the boiling water and boil for 3-5 minutes or until soft 

-Remove with tongs and lay flat
- Fill cabbage leaves, rolling them up
-Place in crock pot (you can stack them on top of each other) and pour sauce over
-Cook on low 6-8 hours

Directions: 

Sauce: 

Lots and lots of cabbage. I added a family this week, so I tripled the recipe!
Banana's and apples were the side.

Very easy, but lots of prep work!
