How to make Cabbage casserole

Basic

1. Saute sliced or diced onion on high heat until glassy/translucent look.
2. Meanwhile the onion is cooking, quickly dice the cabbage up.
3. Add the cabbage to the onion.
4. Saute the cabbage with the onion until it collapses into half of its original size and gets some golden brown color.
5. Empty the frying pan into a casserole dish.
6. On medium to high heat brown the ground meat.
7. Once the meat is browned, add tomato sauce, put the lid halfway on. On medium heat cook about a quarter of water content off so we get a nice thick sauce. It should take about 15 – 25 minutes.
8. Mix the sauce with the cabbage.
9. Add selection of grated cheese and mozzarella on top.
10. Set the broiler to maximum and put the cabbage casserole on the top shelf until the cheese melts and gets some golden brown spots for about 10 – 15 minutes.

Enjoy!

1. In a saucepan add 4 times as much water as the rice and bring it to boil. (Recent studies shows that cooking the rice this way greatly reduces its cyanide content)
2. Add the rice then cook it for 5 minutes then discard the water.

4. Once the water is boiling reduce the heat and cook the rice until the water is soaked up by the rice.
