A new twist on an old favorite, our cabbage rolls get their Middle Eastern flair from cinnamon, allspice, and pine nuts. Ingredients:
8 large green cabbage leaves |
6 ounces sweet turkey italian sausage (about 2 links) |
2 cups chopped onion |
1 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts |
cooking spray |
1/2 cup uncooked converted rice |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 cup water |
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. Steam the cabbage leaves, covered, 3 minutes or until tender. Keep warm.
2. Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage, onion, and nuts in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat 6 minutes or until the sausage is browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in rice and next 4 ingredients (rice through cumin); cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Place the mixture in a medium bowl; cool slightly.
3. Place 1/4 cup sausage mixture in center of each cabbage leaf. Fold in edges of leaves; roll up. Place cabbage rolls, seam sides down, in pan. Combine water and tomato sauce; pour over rolls. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until the rice is done.
