Ingredients
  

For the Cabbage Rolls
  • 12 leaves Green cabbage Use large leaves to easily wrap around the filling.
  • 1 cup Quinoa Cooked.
  • 1 can Black beans Drained and rinsed.
  • 1 can Diced tomatoes For moisture and tangy sweetness.
  • 1 medium Onion Finely chopped.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 1 cup Carrots Grated.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Chopped.
For the Sauce
  • 2 cups Tomato sauce For the base.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning To enhance flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For richness.

Method
 

Prepare the cabbage
  1. Gently remove the core from the cabbage and carefully peel away 12 large leaves. Blanch these leaves in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and pliable.
Mix the filling
  1. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, black beans, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrots, parsley, and spices. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Assemble the rolls
  1. Place a generous scoop of the filling at the base of each cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly, like a burrito. Repeat until all fillings are used up.
Prepare the baking dish
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Arrange and bake
  1. Nestle the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over them and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes until heated through.
Garnish before serving
  1. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle fresh parsley or grated cheese on top.
