Ingredients:  
1 head green cabbage
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork

1 1/2 cups cooked rice

Directions:
Directions:
Remove core from cabbage
place whole head in large pot with boiling, salted water
cover and cook 3 minutes or until softened enough to pull off individual leaves
I peel a couple and return to boiling water, then get a few more
I boil long enough for the stem of the leaf to bend without breaking
you need about 18 good size leaves
cool leaves enough to handle
cop the remaining cabbage head in quarter and put in casserole dish or Dutch oven along with the garlic and onion
mix beef, pork, veal, rice and salt and pepper
roll mixture in to balls (about 1/2 cup each)
place a meat ball on top end of a cabbage leaf
roll one time to enclose meat
fold right side over the middle o the ball and then left side of leaf
finish rolling the rest of the way to enclose meat ball
place cabbage balls on top of chopped cabbage
pour tomato juice over calls cover and place in oven
bake 1 hour or until cabbage is tender and meat is cooked at 350º
serve with pan juices
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Great with French bread for sopping.
Cabbage rolls freeze well before and after cooking.
