Brown Rice recipes...

Since I posted a long post about Rice... I thought I'd give some recipes for ya!!!

Brown Rice and Meat stuffed Cabbage

1 head cabbage

salt

3 cups cooked BROWN rice

1 lb ground beef, or turkey, or chicken

1 chopped onion

2 28 oz can crushed tomatoes

Seasonings of your choice, garlic, salt, pepper, dill, steak seasoning, coriander, ALL YOU WANT!

1 cup thawed frozen corn

2 cups black beans (or any bean you like)

Brown the meat and onion together in a skillet... drain fat completely...

add 1 can of  crushed tomatoes, seasonings, rice, corn and beans... and heat through...

Taste for seasoning... add till it tastes right to you... set aside

Boil some water in a large stock pot and add a couple of teaspoons of salt.

Tear off large leaves of cabbage, wash and place them into the boiling water for about 2 minutes... DO NOT OVER COOK...

Take them out with a strainer spoon, and place them on a cotton towel to cool

When they are easy to handle...

Take one, add some meat mixture (2-3 Tbs), roll it up like a burrito, and place into a shallow baking dish.

Continue to do this until all the meat is gone...

Make sauce with the other can of tomatoes... or just pour the can directly over all the cabbage burritos.. add a little salt and pepper on top...

and bake at 350 for 20 minutes...

Enjoy!!!
