Un-Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

The Cabbage Roll.

A Hungarian delight. Sometimes German, sometimes Polish- We'll call it European in nature and leave it at that.

What it really is, is DELICIOUS. Toddler approved (it's probably the rice...) The only problem with it, the amount of time it takes to make them. And that is how the 'Un-Stuffed' Cabbage roll was born. (At least thats how it happened in my house).

And for those who wanted it, here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

Olive Oil- 2Tbs
Sausage (Beef works too- can substitute turkey sausage if you want it 'Healthy'... coughtastelesscough, we use Jimmy Dean Regular for this one)
Onion- chopped fine
Garlic- 2 Tbs
Diced Tomatoes- 2 14.5oz cans with juice
Tomato Sauce- 1 small 8oz can
Apple Cider Vinegar- 1/8 cup (regular white vinegar works as well)
Brown Sugar- about 2-3 Tbs packed (can add more to taste)
Cabbage- Half a large head or all of a small head, coarsely chopped
Salt
Pepper

Heat the oil in a large pan. Brown sausage and add the onions. When onions are soft, add the garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add your cans of diced tomatoes with juice, and the tomato sauce to the meat, mix. Add the vinegar and brown sugar, stir well. Bring to a boil, add chopped cabbage. Stir in, cover, reduce heat to medium. Let cabbage simmer for 20-30 minutes until soft and translucent. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Serve over rice... or go grain free and dont.. either way, it's good!! It should be tangy and slightly sweet. 

It's even better for lunch the next day- Just ask Magoo.
