Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook for about 2 minutes each, or until soft. Set aside.
- Discard the water, then pour in the tomato sauce and simmer over low heat.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion until it turns translucent.
- Add the lentils and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked rice or other grain, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Spread out the cabbage leaves and place a large spoonful of the lentil mixture in the center of each, close to the stem. Roll the cabbage leaf up over the filling, burrito-style.
- Place all the rolls seam side down in the pot with the tomato sauce and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Pro tip: You can swap out the lentils with beefless crumbles or Soyrizo for a spicier dish.
