Instructions

Prepare the leaves:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boiling.
  • Take out the core of the cabbage head, then, submerge the cabbage in the boiling water for a few minutes until some of the leaves start to peel away and the leaves begin to soften, in a way that each leaf must be pliable enough for rolling later.
  • Remove from water and cut off the thick part of the leaves to flatten it.

Prepare the filling:

  • Combine the "Cabbage Rolls" ingredients, except the cabbage, in a large bowl.

Make the sauce:

  • Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.
  • Layer 3 cabbage leaves on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add the sauce ingredients to a bowl, stir to combine and transfer HALF to the slow cooker.

Assemble:

  • Add about 2-3 tablespoons of filling inside a cabbage leaf and roll. Make sure to seal both ends. Repeat with the remaining leaves. Set aside.
  • Layer the cabbage rolls in the slow cooker, and pour the remaining sauce on top.
  • Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
