Could use a tip on how long to boild the cabbage before stuffing & baking.

Thanks.

1. I would just do them for three or four minutes. Just basically to soften them.

But I don't make them often. Someone may have a better tip.

6. I'd appreciate that!

I love cooked cabbage and your post has me thinking of all sorts of ways that could be made, in addition to the more standard fillings.

2. I always make Lazy Man's...

Here is a link to one such recipe (note:I use my homemade sauce instead of soup) if your interested:

7. a couple of minutes...

They don't need much or they'll become mush before you can stuff them.

You just reminded me I haven't made this in a while and can add it back to my list!

I try to keep the leaves big and whole, stuff 'em and then secure with a toothpick.

9. Steam it just long enough to make the leaves pliant enough to roll

I usually do one leaf at a time in a steamer basket. After the first leaf, I generally know how long to do it for subsequent leaves. A covered skillet can also be used, just take it off heat when the leaves have started to soften so the last ones you use won't be mush.

I tend to like veggies undercooked rather than overcooked, and the stuffed cabbage leaves will continue to cook in the oven or in the sauce.

10. Results of dinner (stuffed cabbage)

After making eight of the stuffed cabbage it got to be tedious. SO I gave up cut the rest of the cabbage up layered it with the stuffing mix and made a casserole.

Both tatsed great, but the suffed cabbage looked nicer on the plate.
