Easy Lentil Stuffed Cabbage

Directions

• 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.
