Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Add the cabbage leaves to the boiling water a few at a time and cook for 30 seconds to one minute, or until they're just pliable. Carefully remove the leaves from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to a colander; rinse with cold water. Repeat with the remaining leaves. Gently squeeze the leaves to remove most of the excess water, leaving them just damp enough so they will stick together when rolled.
- Put 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat; when hot, add half the chopped onion and one tablespoon of the garlic, along with the carrot and the parsnip, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl along with the lamb and rice. Mix until just combined.
- Wipe the pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the remaining onion and garlic and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper and a good sprinkling of salt; cook over medium-low heat while you prepare the cabbage leaves.
- Cut the cabbage leaves in half by running a sharp knife along each side of the stem, removing the stem in the process; trim the top and bottom so you're left with a large rectangle. Lay a leaf on a work surface with the wide edge facing you. Put a couple tablespoons of the meat mixture in the middle of the leaf, fold in the two sides of the leaf and roll it up as you would a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
- Add the cabbage rolls, seam side down, to the pot of sauce. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring the sauce occasionally and adding a tablespoon or two of water if the sauce becomes too thick, until the meat and rice are both fully cooked (cut into a roll to check; the rice should be tender and the meat no longer pink), 30 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the red wine demi-glace sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Saute the red onions and garlic until tender. Add the wine, beef base, pepper and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to boil and reduce by one-third, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pan. Heat over medium-low heat.
- Mix the cornstarch with 3 ounces water to make a slurry. Whisk small amounts of the slurry into the sauce until the desired consistency is reached. Keep warm.
- For the lamb-stuffed cabbage: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the dark green outer leaves and the cores from the cabbages and wrap each head in plastic wrap with a little water. Microwave on high until softened, about 12 minutes. Separate the heads into individual leaves.
- Combine the ground lamb, Cheddar, whiskey, wine, breadcrumbs, garlic, celery, eggs, red peppers, green peppers, shallots, onions, scallions, 2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 tablespoon pepper in a large bowl. Mix by hand until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stuff cabbage leaves with about 2 3/4 ounces of the lamb mixture; then roll the leaves around the filling. Place the rolls, seam-side down, in a large baking dish. Fill the pan halfway with water and drizzle the melted butter over the rolls. Cover with foil and bake until tender and very lightly browned, about 1 hour.
- Spoon the demi-glace sauce over the cabbage rolls.

STUFFED CABBAGE AND SPICED LAMB CHOPS
Martha draws inspiration from kubaibat hayel, a popular Arabic dish of grape leaves stuffed with rice, vegetables, and spices, for this riff on stuffed cabbage. Roasted lamb chops make it special enough for company.

Steps:
- Make the lamb spice mix: In a medium saute pan, toast cumin, mustard, coriander, and fenugreek over medium heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder along with peppercorns and pulse until roughly chopped; set aside.
- Make the stuffed cabbage: Using a paring knife, remove center core of cabbage. In a large nonreactive stockpot, bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add cabbage and cook until outer leaves are bright green and tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift cabbage from water and remove outer leaves. Return cabbage to boiling water and repeat brief cooking and removal of leaves until all leaves are cooked. Trim thick center vein from bottom of each leaf. Reserve four large outer leaves to line bottom of pan.
- In a medium skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until golden and tender, about 8 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon reserved spice mix and a pinch each of saffron and salt. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl and add cooked rice, currants, pine nuts, and parsley. Season filling with salt and mix until well combined.
- Add 1/4 cup filling to one cabbage leaf. Fold sides of cabbage over filling and tightly roll, starting with the stem end. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
- Line a 5-quart Dutch oven with reserved outer leaves. Place potatoes in bottom of pot and top with stuffed cabbage leaves, tucking tomatoes between them. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of saffron.
- In a medium saucepan, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock along with sugar and remaining pinch of saffron. Season with salt.
- Pour tomato paste mixture over stuffed cabbage and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until cabbage is very tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Make the rack of lamb: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season lamb all over with salt and 4 tablespoons reserved spice mixture (1 tablespoon per side), rubbing to evenly coat meat.
- Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium and sear lamb, meat-side down, until golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn lamb and transfer skillet to oven. Roast lamb until a thermometer inserted in center reaches 130 degrees (medium-rare). Let rest 5 minutes before carving lamb into individual chops.
- To serve, place stuffed cabbage, along with potatoes and sauce, on a serving platter, and top with lamb. Garnish with mint.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large, deep pot of water to a boil. Season with salt. Mix together onion, lamb, rice, pine nuts, currants, cinnamon, herbs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover; refrigerate about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a paring knife, cut out and discard core of cabbage. Plunge cabbage, top-side down, into pot of boiling water. (Use a pair of tongs to keep it fully submerged.) As leaves separate from head and become pliable, remove them and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, 6 minutes total. Let stand until cool enough to handle, 15 minutes.
- Stir together tomato sauce, lemon juice, sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Line a 9-by-13- inch baking dish with large cabbage leaves; spread with half of tomato mixture. Working with one remaining leaf at a time, lay flat on a work surface; with a knife held horizontally, cutting away from you, shave center rib flush with leaf. Place about 1/4 cup lamb mixture in center. Fold stem end over filling, then tuck in sides and roll to enclose. Repeat with remaining leaves (using less filling as leaves get smaller). Fit rolls snugly in dish in a single layer, seam-sides down, and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with garlic, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with oil. Cover; bake 30 minutes. Spoon juices over rolls, return to oven, and bake, covered, until leaves are tender and easily cut with a knife, 55 to 65 minutes more; serve.

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.

Steps:
- For the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onions, and cook over medium-low heat for 8 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Remove the entire core of the cabbage with a paring knife. Immerse the head of cabbage in the boiling water for a few minutes, peeling off each leaf with tongs as soon as it s flexible. Set the leaves aside. Depending on the size of each leaf, you will need at least 14 leaves.
- For the filling, in a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, eggs, onion, breadcrumbs, rice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add 1 cup of the sauce to the meat mixture and mix lightly with a fork.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- To assemble, place 1 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Remove the hard triangular rib from the base of each cabbage leaf with a small paring knife. Place 1/3 to 1/2 cup of filling in an oval shape near the rib edge of each leaf and roll up toward the outer edge, tucking the sides in as you roll. Place half the cabbage rolls, seam sides down, over the sauce. Add more sauce and more cabbage rolls alternately until you ve placed all the cabbage rolls in the pot. Pour the remaining sauce over the cabbage rolls. Cover the dish tightly with the lid and bake for 1 hour or until the meat is cooked and the rice is tender. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Carefully cut away the bottom center core of the cabbage. Pull off and discard any tough or blemished outer leaves.
- Bring enough water to the boil to cover the cabbage when it is added. Drop the cabbage into the water and cook, turning occasionally, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain the cabbage and run it briefly under cold water. Place the cabbage cored side down to drain further.
- Put the lamb in a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet and add two cups of the onions and one teaspoon of the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the green pepper and celery. Sprinkle with the cumin and turmeric and stir. Cook over medium-low heat about five minutes. Spoon the mixture onto a plate to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Add the bread crumbs, dill and eggs to the lamb. Add the cooled onion and garlic mixture, salt, pepper and hot red-pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly with the hands.
- Lay out a rectangle of cheesecloth of double thickness measuring about 12 by 10 inches (folded measure).
- Place one of the largest leaves, rounded side up, in the center of the cheesecloth. Cover with a second, somewhat smaller, leaf. Fill the center of the second leaf with three or four tablespoons of filling.
- Bring up the four corners of the cheesecloth and twist the ends together over a bowl. This will shape the leaves into a compact round. It is not necessary to use string. Remove the cabbage ball from the cheesecloth. Continue making the balls until all the leaves and filling are used. There should be about 20 to 24 cabbage balls.
- Heat the butter in a heavy casserole or baking dish large enough to hold all the cabbage balls in one layer. Add the remaining one and one-half cups of onions and the remaining one teaspoon garlic and cook briefly, stirring. Add the bay leaves and whole cloves. Arrange the cabbage balls seam side down in the casserole.
- Blend the tomatoes and broth and pour this around the cabbage balls. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover closely with a heavy lid or aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake 50 minutes. Remove the cover and continue to bake 10 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaves. Serve hot or cold with the pan juices.

BEST STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS
Tender leaves of cabbage are wrapped around a hearty sirloin and rice filling and topped with a homemade tomato sauce in this family-friendly recipe for stuffed cabbage leaves. The hint of allspice and slight tang from vinegar create a perfect balance in this dish. They remind me of eating at a Lebanese food festival, although not quite as spicy. Serve with Greek salad or tabouli salad and warm pita for the perfect bite!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stir in 4 teaspoons salt. Remove loose, outer leaves from the cabbage and place in the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove from the water and set aside.
- Remove core from the cabbage and carefully place the head in the boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes, removing the outer leaves one at a time as they loosen every minute. Set aside 12 large leaves and reserve inner portion of the cabbage for another use.
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Set aside 2 tablespoons minced onion for cabbage rolls; add remaining onion to the hot oil. Cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, undrained diced tomatoes, water, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prepare cabbage rolls: Mix sirloin, rice, garlic, reserved minced onion, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, remaining pepper, and allspice together in a bowl until well combined.
- Place a softened cabbage leaf on a cutting board and remove the bottom, tough portion of the stem. Place about 3 tablespoons meat filling into the center of the leaf. Fold the sides inward and roll the leaf up tightly, like a burrito or spring roll. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
- Pour 1 cup tomato sauce mixture in a bottom of a 9x13-inch or 11x7-inch baking dish. Place cabbage rolls, seam-side down, in the baking dish and pour remaining sauce on top. Cover tightly with foil.
