This marvelous meatless entree comes from my 89-year-old grandmother, who cooks a lot with grains, particularly bulgur. The zucchini's a fun change of pace in these cabbage rolls. —Michelle Dougherty of Lewiston, Idaho

Vegetarian Cabbage Rolls Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 4 Servings
30 15 45

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 3/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 3/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup bulgur
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large head cabbage
  • 6 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, combine the first 10 ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook cabbage in boiling water just until leaves fall off head. Set aside eight large leaves for rolls (refrigerate remaining cabbage for another use). Cut out the thick vein from each leaf, making a V-shape cut. Overlap cut ends before filling. Stir 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and lemon juice into vegetable mixture.
  • Place a heaping 1/3 cupful on each cabbage leaf; fold in sides. Starting at an unfolded edge, roll to completely enclose filling.
  • Combine tomato sauce and hot pepper sauce; pour 1/3 cup into a 2-qt. baking dish. Place cabbage rolls in dish; spoon remaining sauce over top. Cover and bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Yield: 4 servings.

I loved this! I am not a vegetarian but this was wonderful. I had never cooked with bulgar before. I plan to look for more recipies using bulgar and other grains.

I made this recipe with two bulgar wheat rolls and basmati rice rolls; the bulgar wheat cabbage rolls tasted the best! I can't wait to make this again.

My husband and I loved this dish! We are not vegetarians but loved the flavor. My husband thought it had ground beef in it until about halfway through his meal!

This is a very tasty main course. I am a vegetarian (recently converted) and wanted stuffed cabbage, without the meat. When it did not include rice I was a little skeptical but the bulgur does a fantastic job of substitution without the time it takes for whole grain rice to cook. The next time I make this recipe I will increase the bulgur by half hoping to give it more o a traditional stuffed cabbage texture. This is an excellent recipe and would recommend it to anyone looking to reduce the fat in his or her diet or is vegetarian.

I was nervous to make this but glad i did! I could not find bulgur so i used quinoa and just cooked it longer. Also added 1 t worchestershire to the sauce and 1 T of brown sugar. LOVED IT!

I added pinto beans and used balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice. It was a hit!
