Directions

* Vegetarian use vegetable stock rather than chicken stock. 1. To make sauce: In a 2 quart saucepan over medium-low heat, saute' the celery and onions in the stock for about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil, vinegar and oregano. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Set aside while you make the rolls. 2. To make the cabbage rolls: In a small saucepan over low heat, saute' the onions, mushrooms and garlic in the stock for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the rice or barley, tomatoes, bread crumbs, soy sauce, parsley, curry and pepper. 3.

Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 3 minutes, or until pliable. Drain. Place about ½ cup of mixture on each leaf. Roll the leaf tightly to enclose the filling. 4. Coat a 9x9 baking dish with no-stick spray. Add the rolls, seam side down. Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce over the rolls.

Cover with foil and bake at 400 F for 25 to 35 minutes. Serve the heated cabbage rolls with the remaining sauce.
