I used Chef Johnâs basic recipe and technique but Iâll list my tweaks belowâŠ
Instead of veal and butter, I used 1lb of fatty sausage, because thatâs what I had.
Add onion powder and some Montreal Steak seasoning and dried parsley flakes because I didnât have fresh.
Mix in a thawed bag of riced cauliflower and chill the meat in the fridge, like he does.
Simmer the head of cabbage, picking out 12 best leaves⊠then separate out the rest and set aside.
Line a small roasting pan with foil, layer with some of the largest extra leaves and top with the sliced onions.
Separate the meat and roll the cabbage leaves like Chef John instructs, and line them up in the pan.
Tuck the smallest extra leaves around and in between.
Take the can of crushed tomatoes and add 1 cup of Beef Stock, pour over the whole deal.
Cover with foil tightly and bake at 350F for 2.5- 3hrs.
