Cabbage Rolls in Tomato-Herb Sauce - Mill City Farmers Market

Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage
• 1 ½ cup cooked short grain brown rice (Note: Use 3/4 cup rice to 1 ½ cup water. This allows the rice to stay a bit “al dente”, so it can gather in all the lovely juices from the meat and the sauce)

• ¼ cup milk
• ¼ cup diced onion, shallots or leeks
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb. ground beef Sunshine Harvest Farms

• 1 cup greek yogurt and/or sour cream mixed with 1 teaspoon dill, for serving
• Assortment of pickled vegetables from Martha’s Joy
• 1/2 Tablespoon butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup broth or water
• 1, 28 oz. can of crushed organic tomatoes
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon caraway seed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
