Vegetable Filling

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Other Filling Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with cooked rice, black beans, and corn. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Prepare the Cabbage Rolls

  1. 4

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage head. Place the cabbage in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until the outer leaves are limp. Remove from water and let it cool.

  2. 5

    Form the Rolls

    Once the cabbage is cool enough to handle, gently peel off 8-10 leaves. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of each leaf. Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the stem end to the tip.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1 cup of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam side down in the dish.

  4. 7

    Add Sauce and Bake

    Top the cabbage rolls with the remaining tomato sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through.

  5. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
