BEEF STUFFED CABBAGE
We revised this classic dish by slashing the amount of oil and opting for lean beef. It'll provide true comfort, any night of the week. Savoy cabbage has deep green ruffled and veined leaves. It is not as firm as purple or green cabbage and has a mild flavor and tender-crisp texture. Refrigerate heads of cabbage wrapped in a paper towel in a plastic bag for up to 2 weeks. Don't cut or shred it until you are ready to use it in order to maximize freshness and maintain color and nutrients. Try this recipe with ground turkey for a change of pace. Leftovers reheat beautifully.

Steps:
- Wrap cabbage leaves in plastic wrap or moist paper towels and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, until soft. Cut off the thickest, white portion of the spine of each leaf to make leaves pliable and easy to fold; set aside.
- Combine beef, rice, water, bread crumbs, carrot, onion, garlic, egg white, salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix well.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of beef mixture onto center of each leaf. Fold up bottom of leaf to cover filling, tuck in sides and then continue rolling to make loose rolls (rice will expand during cooking so it is important not to roll them too tightly).
- Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat; add rolls and sauté until golden brown on all sides, turning frequently, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until cooked through, checking pot every 15 minutes and stirring to prevent sticking, about 1 hour. (If sauce thickens or reduces, add water.) Yields 2 rolls per serving.

CHEF ERIC GREENSPAN'S STUFFED CABBAGE
Steps:
- To make sauce, heat oil in large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 cup onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, grapes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bring to boil, lower heat, and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring large pot of water to boil. Remove core from cabbage by cutting around it at an angle with a paring knife. Immerse head of cabbage in boiling water for a few minutes; remove with tongs as soon as outer few leaves are flexible. Peel off leaves, then return head to water. Repeat until you have 16 leaves. Let cool. Save remaining head of cabbage for another use.
- To make filling, combine turkey, eggs, remaining 1/2 cup onion, the bread crumbs, rice, oregano, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in large bowl and stir until combined. Add 1 cup of sauce to meat mixture and mix lightly with fork.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. To assemble stuffed cabbage, place 1 cup sauce in bottom of large Dutch oven. Remove tough rib from the base of each cabbage leaf by cutting it out with a paring knife. Place 1/3 to 1/2 cup of filling in an oval shape near the bottom edge (where you cut out the rib) of 1 leaf. Tuck in sides and roll up to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling. Place 8 rolls, seam sides down, over sauce in Dutch oven. Cover with more sauce. Add remaining rolls and cover with remaining sauce. Cover pot and bake until meat is cooked and rice is tender, about 1 hour.
- Serving size: 2 rolls and 1/3 cup sauce

WW SOUTHWESTERN STUFFED CABBAGE CASSEROLE WEIGHT WATCHERS
Found while surfing the Net. It's been calculated at 7 pts with cheese and 5 pts without. It is very tasty and makes a ton (perfect for OAMC). If you chop the cabbage in a food processor, you can slip in the healthy veggie without picky eaters knowing. DH liked it and he hates cabbage.
