Recipe - Steamed Cabbage-Beef Rolls With Sauce

1 Cabbage head
1 pound Lean ground beef
One half cup Yellow onions chopped
1 One half cup Cooked rice
3 tablespoon Margarine melted
One half cup Soft bread crumbs
One fourth teaspoon Ground sage
One fourth teaspoon Black pepper
One half teaspoon Salt
1 ds Ground nutmeg optional

~ Sauce: 4 tablespoons margarine One half teaspoon chili powder 1/2
teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons allpurpose flour 2 cups tomato juice

1. Cut the core from cabbage. Under running water, carefully remove about
15 leaves to use for the recipe. Have about 2 quarts water boiling; add 1
teaspoon of salt. Dip the cabbage leaves in boiling water, 3 at a time, for
about 3 minutes. Remove with tongs, drain and set aside. 2. Mix the meat,
onion, cooked rice, margarine, bread crumbs, sage, pepper, nutmeg and salt.
Lay a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Put 24 tablespoons of the mixture on
each leaf, depending on the leaf size. Put the meat near the base of the
leaf, fold leaf up and over the meat, turning under the sides. This will
make about 15 rolls. 3. Place the rolls, seam side down, in a greased
2quart casserole dish. Make two layers of the rolls. Place this dish on
rack over 2 inches of simmering water in wok or large heavy pan with rack.
Cover pan or wok and steam for 3540 minutes. TOMATO SAUCE: Melt 4
tablespoons margarine in a skillet. Add the salt, chili powder and the
flour. Mix to a smooth paste. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly,
until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the
tomato juice. Return to heat and cook until it boils and thickens.
