"My own recipe- adapted from an old recipe book. My kids LOVE this. This is time consuming but worth it. They do like the recipe with raisins. I think this is best made in an enamel covered cast iron pot, such as le creuset or descoware. I have discovered that minute rice works best in this."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place cabbage leaves in a boiling pot of water and simmer until the leaves are beginning to become soft - don't overcook or else the cabbage will fall apart. Remove the leaves and set aside.
Step 2
Mix tomato sauce, garlic , lemon juice brown sugar together- taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed. ( add raisins to the sauce if wanted)
Step 3
Spoon approx 1/2 of the sauce into the bottom of a heavy oven-proof dutch oven and turn the heat on medium.
Step 4
Mix ground beef, grated onion, grated parsnip,dill, parsley, rice, egg and water together-sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Place a portion of the stuffing in each leaf- how many leaves depends upon the size of the cabbage and it's leaf size-it does vary. Roll the leaves over the filling and tuck the ends then place each leaf gently into the pot.
Step 6
Pour the rest of the sauce over.
Step 7
Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for approx 45 minutes.
Step 8
Place the entire pot into a preheated 300F oven and allow to bake for another 1 1/2 hours, or more.
Step 9
The sauce should have reduced somewhat by the end. I usually check the pot every once in a while to make sure that the stuffed cabbage is not drying out ( add small amount of water if needed)
