Ingredients

  • 1 head green cabbage

Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 2 cups chopped cabbage
  • 2 cups cooked green lentils
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 2 small cooked yams mashed
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon stevia leaf powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 lemon juiced

Tomato Sauce:

  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 5.5 oz can tomato paste mixed with equal amount water
  • 1 teaspoon stevia leaf powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 2 teaspoon oregano

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lightly grease 13x9 inch casserole dish. Set aside.
  • Cut out the tough bottom core of the cabbage. Carefully peel off 12 leaves.
  • Place cabbage leaves in large pot of boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes until leaves are tender.
  • Rinse cabbage leaves under cold water to cool. Drain well and set aside.
  • Grate the remaining cabbage to equal 2 cups. Place in large mixing bowl.
  • Add cooked, drained quinoa and lentils, yams, grated carrot, stevia, pepper and mustard powder, poppy seeds and lemon juice to the bowl.
  • Taste and add more seasoning, in very small amounts if desired. Mix well.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste, water and tomato sauce. Add seasoning and oregano and mix well.
  • Pour a little sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Set aside.
  • Lay cabbage leaves out on your work surface. Place 1/4 cup or 3 tablespoons of the mixture into each leaf. Roll up the ends first, and then the sides. Place in the baking pan.
  • Continue with each leaf until the casserole dish is full.
  • Reserving 1/2 cup, pour tomato sauce over cabbage rolls, making sure all are well covered.
  • Cover with lid or tin foil. Bake at 90 minutes or until cabbage is soft. You can test doneness by inserting a sharp knife.
  • When cooked, remove from oven, and add remaining sauce if too dry. Serve hot.
