Mushroom Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

INGREDIENTS

• INGREDIENTS

  • ⅔ cup water
  • ⅓ cup uncooked white rice
  • Cabbage leaves, 8 oz
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 4 oz oyster mushrooms, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1-2 sliced or chopped green garlic
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • fresh chopped parsley and oregano to taste

   

  INSTRUCTIONS

  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large, wide saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until softened; drain.
  • Combine ground beef, 1 cup of cooked rice, mushrooms, onion, egg, 2 tablespoons of tomato soup, salt, and pepper, green garlic, parsley and oregano in a large bowl; mix thoroughly.
  • Spoon beef mixture evenly onto each cabbage leaf; bring one end of the cabbage leaf over the mixture, rolling and tucking in the ends to prevent the filling from falling out.
  • Place cabbage rolls in a large skillet over medium heat; pour remaining tomato soup on top. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring and basting with the liquid often.
