VEGGIE CABBAGE ROLLS
In my attempt to make healthier choices, I altered my cabbage rolls this holiday season and it was so easy to do. Yes, I did make some with meat added for the meat eaters in the family that are slower in changing.
For my own vegetarian style, I mixed together some cooked brown and wild rice blend, chopped yellow onion, portobello mushroom and green pepper, with a little salt and fresh pepper, and a sprinkling of basil. I filled the leaves of cabbage, that had been frozen and thawed to allow for soft leaves that could be rolled up. Top them with some strained pureed tomatoes or tomato juice is fine too. Cook in oven at 300 degrees for about an hour and fifteen minutes. Sprinkle with a little basil when serving and voila, an appetizing veggie cabbage roll.

Nice! Yummy
Try it also with some mung lentils (split so they’ll be yellow) in with the rice blend. They’ll add a creamier texture and also more nutrition (when combined with rice)

I’ve made something similar in the past with spicy yellow lentils, but these are absolutely amazing.
