Cabbage Rolls
Don’t worry- these are no dainty vegetable rolls; they are filled with hearty farro and/or ground beef and stewed in delicious tomato sauce, making it a satisfying, unique wintertime meal. Begin by boiling a dozen cabbage leaves for about two minutes and then put into cold water. In a bowl, combine one pound of ground beef, one cup of cooked farro (or double and skip the meat), one egg, a quarter cup of milk, a small diced onion and your favorite savory seasonings. Place about a quarter cup of the mixture in the middle of each leaf and then roll up the leaf, tucking in the ends. Place them in a slow cooker or roasting pan and pour eight ounces of tomato sauce over the rolls. Cook in a low oven, tightly covered, for an hour. In a slow cooker, cook for as long as you can (ideally up to eight hours) and serve with toasted bread.
