Lazy cabbage rolls have been around in our family for many years. I remember eating it as a child. The idea of this recipe came from my mother. She was a very busy lady, raising five of us, while living in the country.

  • Reduce temperature to a low. Cover with a lid and cook the cabbage for about 40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes. If, while cooking, rice happens to absorb all juices from the cabbage, you may need to add a bit of water. Taste, to make sure that rice is completely cooked.
