MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS
I love stuffed cabbage. I have made them with turkey, beef, chicken, all vegetables ... so I figured I would try a little twist on the traditional and go for a bit of a Mediterranean flavor.

Steps:
- Cabbage -- I like to blanch my cabbage just in the microwave. Remove the leaves and put them in a flat dish with some water and nuke 1-2 minutes it doesn't take long. I do about 15 leaves at a time. It is quick and easy. If you prefer to blanch them in a large pot of boiling water to get the cabbage soft, that is fine too. You just want the leaves soft enough to roll but not cooked. Cool once soft so they are easier to handle.
- Filling -- In a large bowl mix the couscous, egg, seasoning, herbs, pine nuts, olives, cheese and onions. Stir well until everything is combined. Add the lamb and mix until combined.
- Time to roll up the cabbage -- Add a tablespoon or two to the cabbage leave and roll, folding in the sides. Secure with a tooth pick. Add to either a large pot for stove top cooking or a crock pot. Personally I love the crock pot for this. They both work equally as good.
- The sauce -- Add to the pot the wine mixed with the tomato paste, the canned tomatoes, chopped well, and the shallots. Cook on medium low on the stove for 2 hours. Or in the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours depending on the size of your crock pot.
- Serve this with grilled pita bread to soak up all the sauce and a fresh green salad with a lemon and oregano vinaigrette.

MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED CABBAGE
I had cabbage and cauliflower, and an unholy desire to use them. I also had a hankering for Greek-themed food, and so, this take on typically Russian and meat-stuffed cabbage was born. The sauce looks nice with green specks of herbs in it and the sweet raisins contrast with the creamy cheese. Grated carrots would be nice in the filling for flavor and color.

Steps:
- Cut the thick hard part out of the cabbage leaf bottoms and boil until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Roughly chop the cauliflower and boil until soft, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the cooked couscous, cottage cheese, raisins, oil, half of the lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons each of the parsley and mint in a bowl.
- Remove cabbage leaves to a colander to drain and cool.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- When the cauliflower is very soft, drain well and add to couscous mixture. Mash well with a potato masher and add the remaining spices to taste.
- Carefully lay out each cabbage leaf on at a time and add an egg-sized mound of filling. Fold sides in first and then roll from the bottom to the top, and lay in a casserole dish seam side down.
- Combine sour cream, milk and remaining parsley, mint, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Pour over cabbage rolls.
- Cover casserole and bake for about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the cabbage leaves and put a heavy ladle on top to keep them submerged. Boil for 4 mins, then drain, reserving the water.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Reserve 2 tbsp of the onion, then fry the rest for 10 mins until just golden. Stir in the pine nuts and cook until starting to colour. Add the spices and rice, then pour in 450ml of the reserved water. Stir in the bouillon powder, cover and cook for 15 mins until the rice is almost tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the lentils, zest and mint.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a spoonful of the rice into the centre of a cabbage leaf, roll up and put in a shallow casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining rice and leaves. Cover and bake for 30 mins until the rice is fully tender.
- Meanwhile, combine the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and 3 tbsp water, and mix the salad ingredients with the reserved onion. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve half the rolls with half of the sauce and half of the salad. Cover and chill the rest to eat another day. Will keep in the fridge for two to three days. Reheat in the microwave until hot.

FISH AND COUSCOUS STUFFED MEDITERRANEAN CABBAGE ROLLS
An interesting twist on stuffed cabbage rolls which I happen to love. Last year on vacation, it was the last day and trying to use up all our food; a box of couscous, tilapia, cabbage, and a few pantry items, and the dish was born. Now I have refined it a bit, but over all, this was it. It turned out so good, I make it all the time. Tender white fish, couscous, Mediterranean flavors and vegetables wrapped in cabbage with a rich artichoke and tomato sauce. Just like any cabbage rolls, it takes a little bit of work to wrap them all up, but 30 minutes baked in the oven and they are perfect. Serve with a creamy potato and parsnip soup to start off dinner, and crunchy bread to go along with the cabbage rolls and you have a great Sunday dinner.

Steps:
- Homemade Greek Seasoning -- You can make a batch of this up and put in a small spice jar. Once you try this, you will always keep some on hand.: 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried mint, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion, 1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic. Options, you can add some lemon pepper, or marjoram, but that is my favorite combination that I use.
- Cabbage -- In a large pot, bring salted water up to a boil and add the cabbage. Blanch, or cook the cabbage just until the leaves are tender or no longer stiff and easy to work work. It should take about 3-4 minutes. Now don't get rid of that water, just turn it off for now. Once the cabbage is cool enough to handle remove the outer leaves, the ones that are soft and no longer stiff. As you get in to the smaller leaves they will be stiffer, so heat up the water to a boil and put the cabbage back in to finish blanching the remaining cabbage, just another 2-3 minutes. Once cool, take off the leaves.
- Set all the leaves off to the side to cool. And don't worry if they are all different sizes, that is just the way stuffed cabbage is. Each stuffed leaf will be a bit different.
- NOTE: Don't throw that water out yet. We use it one more time.
- Fish -- Now you can use a variety of methods, but since you already have hot boiling water from the cabbage, why get rid of it. I simply put a steamer basket (or you can use a colander or even a strainer; I have even used a small grate) over the top, cut my fish fillets into 3" pieces, easier to work with, and add to the steamer basket. Put a lid or foil over the top and just cooked until slightly tender, but not too long. Usually 4-5 minutes is all you need. Remove and let cool.
- Couscous -- Now you can use your favorite brand. Simply follow the directions on the package. My method is to bring a bowl of water up to a boil in the microwave. Remove, add the couscous, cover with plastic wrap and you are done. You want approximately 1 1/2 cups cooked couscous, a little more or less is fine. Just set to the side.
- Vegetable Filling -- In a medium saute pan, heat to medium high and add the olive oil. Add the peppers, onion, celery, and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion gets opaque. Then add in the scallions, parsley, Greek seasoning and olives and just stir to combine all the flavors. Remove to the side.
- Fish filling -- Take you fish and use your fork to flake the fish. I just roughly flake it, it will fall apart as you mix it with the other ingredients. To the couscous, just remove the plastic wrap or fork to "fluff up." Then add the fish, sauteed vegetables, lemon juice and zest, and the egg to the couscous. Mix well. Your filling is done.
- Sauce -- The sauce can simmer as you roll your cabbage leaves. In a medium to large pot bring to medium heat and add the olive oil and then the onions and garlic. Cook for just 2-3 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and then add in the tomatoes and Greek seasoning. Stir well and then add in the artichoke hearts. Just reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
- Rolls -- Now the fun part. Lay out the cabbage leaves and put a good spoon of the couscous mixture to the center of the leaf. I fold one end over (the smaller end), then tuck in the 2 sides, and finish rolling. Just like you would make a sandwich wrap. Secure with a toothpick and you are done.
- If you have any filling left, don't throw it out. Save it and reinvent it. Add some feta cheese and fresh tomatoes and serve as a cold salad over a bed of lettuce or stuff in a tomato for a quick healthy lunch or dinner.
- Casserole -- I like to bake mine in a large casserole dish, I add all the cabbage leaves and then top with the simmered tomato and artichoke sauce. In a 350 degree oven, cover and bake 30-40 minutes until the cabbage is very tender and all the filling reheats.
- Serve -- Make sure to serve 2-3 leaves per person and top with extra tomato sauce and the black olives as a garnish. Some crusty bread and you have a great dinner. I love to start with a bowl of creamy potato soup, I made earlier, so just reheat. It makes a nice Sunday Comfort Food Meal for a cold chilly day.

Steps:
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat; heat oil in the melted butter. Cook and stir 1/2 diced onion until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Combine lamb, rice, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 cup parsley, almonds, and currants in a large bowl. Add cooled onion mixture and mix until combined. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Remove the core from the cabbage head and place the head in the boiling water. Cover and simmer until leaves begin to fall away, about 5 minutes. Remove the 2 outer layers of leaves to a paper towel-lined plate, cover and continue cooking for 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove the remaining large leaves to the plate. You will need 8 large and about 7 smaller leaves.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Take 1 cabbage leaf and remove the root end. Place about 1/2 cup of the lamb mixture toward the bottom edge of the cabbage leaf and roll into a log. Repeat with remaining lamb mixture and 7 more large leaves to create 8 cabbage rolls.
- Line the bottom of a large casserole dish or Dutch oven with 4 or 5 smaller cabbage leaves. Place cabbage rolls on top; season with salt and black pepper. Add bay leaves and tomato puree. Pour in chicken broth. Sprinkle 1/2 sliced onion over the top and cover with 3 or 4 more cabbage leaves. Cover casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the lamb is tender and the rice is cooked, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Serve with pan juices poured over the top and garnished with feta cheese and 2 tablespoons parsley.

- Remove cabbage core with a paring knife; discard core and outer leaves. Place the trimmed cabbage in a large pot and fill with water. Bring the water to a simmer and cook, turning occasionally, until the leaves are pliable, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the cabbage from the water. Separate the leaves, being careful not to tear them.
- Meanwhile, place beef, rice, 3 tablespoons tomato sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, cinnamon and pepper in a medium bowl; mix with your hands until just combined.
- Cut the larger cabbage leaves in half along the rib, then cut out the rib completely; reserve the ribs and leaves separately. The cut leaves should be about 4 inches by 6 inches. Leave smaller leaves whole.
- Place a generous tablespoon of the meat mixture along the edge of a cabbage leaf (where the rib was). Roll up the leaf tightly, folding in the sides as you roll. Repeat with the remaining leaves and meat mixture.
