Sauté the onion in a little olive oil until clear.

Add the vegeburger and seasonings. Stir to mix then add the dry rice and mix well. This is now ready to put into a cabbage leaf (any leftover can be froze for later use.)

To loosen cabbage leaves; Cut out the core at an angle and remove, then place cabbage
head in boiling water to cover (do not cook) Remove each leaf separately as they wilt
using tongs. Next cut the vein of the leaf so it will not be so thick, being careful not to
cut all the way through. PLACE the cabbage leaf in your hand vein next to you. Place a
tablespoon of rice mixture in the middle of the leaf and fold half the leaf over the top of
the rice. Then roll up and tuck the other end inside to make a firm roll.
TO COOK; Use a heavy dutch oven size pan. Place cabbage outer leaves on the bottom
of the pan to prevent scorching. Put the cabbage rolls in and top with half the tomatoes.
Put another layer of cabbage rolls and the rest of the tomatoes on top. Add enough water
to just see, not cover and cook on medium low approximately one hour. Check often so
it doesn’t boil over. You may need to add more liquid so it doesn’t burn. If you like
sauerkraut a little may also be sprinkled over each layer it gives it a nice flavor
MIXTURE may also be put into hollowed out green, red, yellow or orange peppers and
cooked in tomatoes using the same kind of pan as the cabbage roll. Cooking on top of
the stove is better than trying to bake in an oven. (we like red peppers best)
ANOTHER way to use the rice mixture is to make spanish rice by cooking in salsa sauce
and tomatoes using a large covered skillet.
