Ingredients

• 1½ cups brown rice
• 1½ cups green lentils
• 1 large head red cabbage
• 1 26 oz jar of tomato sauce
• 2 Tsbp olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tsp Italian seasonings
• ½ tsp paprika
• 3 Tbsp tomato paste (I love this paste because its in a jar, so no BPA!)
• Sea salt and pepper
• Parsley for garnish

Directions

• Rinse lentils, and boil according to package directions, set aside.
• Cook brown rice according to package directions, set aside.
• Place the cabbage on the counter, and using a sharp knife, cut out and remove the stem from the bottom of the cabbage head.
• In a large stock pot, boil the water and season with sea salt. Add the whole cabbage head to the boiling water, let boil for 5 minutes, or until the outer leaf starts to pull away from the head. Using tongs, carefully remove the outer leaves until you have 10-12 large leaves. Let cool on a plate. Cut out one inch of the thick rib, at the base of each leaf.
• While the water for the cabbage is boiling, sauté your diced onion in olive oil, in a large sauté pan oven medium heat for 10-12 minutes.
• Add the cooked lentils, cooked rice, Italian seasonings, tomato paste, minced garlic, and pepper to the pan with the onions. Mix to combine, let cook for 4-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Remove pan from heat.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spread ½ cup of tomato sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish.
• Lay out your cabbage leaf, and spoon ⅓ cup of the filling into the leaf. Fold the sides in, and then roll the bottom over. Place seam side down in the casserole dish.
• Pour the remaining sauce over the top.
• Cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Serve immediately.
