Instructions to make Cabbage Rolls:

The magic about cabbage rolls is that the meat and the rice cook in the cabbage itself. To ensure even cooking, don't use the outermost leaves of the cabbage—they don't have as much moisture. Place the cabbage rolls side by side in rows, seam-side down, in a casserole pan. Pour the remaining sweet and sour tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls. Then, pull away the leaves from the outside of the cabbage, and cut off the thick center vein on each leaf.
