My parents are Ukrainian and always made this cabbage roll recipe when I was growing up. These cabbage rolls have no meat in them. Sometimes they used salt pork in them, but I didn't care for it.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cabbage
  • 3 cups water
  • 1.5 cups uncooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion , chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can tomato juice , 46 fluid ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

  2. 2

    Fill a large pot with a few inches of water and insert a steamer basket; bring to a boil. Place whole head of cabbage into the steamer basket, cover, and steam until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

  3. 3

    At the same time, bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice and reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir onion into cooked rice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Cut leaves off cabbage and cut any larger leaves in half. Spoon 1 tablespoon rice into each leaf and roll tightly. Stack rolls in layers in the prepared casserole dish. Pour tomato juice over the rolls, using enough just to cover.

  6. 6

    Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
