- 1/2 cup parsley
- 2 onions, chopped
- 4 celery stalks
- 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp tomato paste

Method:
Wash the cabbage and remove the core. Cook the cabbage on steam.
In a pan add oil and fry the chopped onions, chopped parsley, celery, along with chopped garlic. Add the seasoning to taste. Cook for 5 min.
Add the tomato sauce and water. Let the water boil and add the bulgur. Simmer for 1 hour. Mix regularly and cook until the bulgur is cooked well.
Use the bulgur sauce as a stuffing for the cabbage. Add 2 tbsp of this mix to the cabbage leaf, roll it and secure the ends.
Arrange the stuffed leaves in a pan for baking. Add the tomato sauce over the cabbages. Cook for 1 hour at medium heat in oven.
Serve hot. Can be garnished with sour cream sauce.
As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
