I am looking for a stuffed cabbage roll recipe that does not use rice, as my family does not eat rice. Thank you in advance for your help!

I do not have a recipe, but you might be able to substitute bread crumbs or oatmeal for rice. Basically make a meat loaf mixture that has bread crumbs in it, wrap the cabbage around it, and proceed as you would for any other cabbage roll recipe.

You could use couscous - I think that would work.

Hi, That is one ethnic food I grew up with, and so I know how to make it a variety of ways, you can make the recipe with barley instead the rice. My grandma did that sometimes. Also, my mom is allergic to tomato, so my grandmother would use beef broth and add some paprika if my mom was coming, gave it a nice twist to that taste when you are use to tomato. RECIPE: sorry I do not use measurements, but, core your cabbage head as well as you can, steam if for a few minutes, till the leaves are a bit transparent, pull out of water and peel leaves off as whole as you can, mix: I use beef and bit of ground pork for the filling, with just a very little bit of basil, some garlic, and pepper, I use minute rice (uncooked), but like I said you can use barley.

I use regular saltine crackers when I make cabbage rolls. First I boil my cabbage and cut the leaves off. Then in a big bowl I combine hamburger, eggs (1 egg for each lb. of meat), onion soup mix (1 pack for eack lb. of meat) & pack of saltine crackers crushed. Mix it all up and stuff your cabbage. I pour a couple of jars of spaghetti sauce over the cabbage rolls (enough to almost cover them and add a little water). Bake for a few hours depending on how many cabbage rolls there are. I always get compliments on my cabbage rolls. (03/02/2006)

I don't put Rice in my cabbage rolls either.I just use saltine Crackers,some times I just make up the mixture for a meatloaf and roll it up in the cabbage leaves.it works just fine.the reason I use the crackers is to give the meat a binding agent and that's what the rice is there for.it tastes just as good and I think you'll be happy with the results.

Try ouzo which is a rice shaped pasta. Or any tiny pasta. You could even break up spaghetti noodles into very small pieces. (03/05/2006)
