I can’t believe we’re already in the second week of July already! The summer is flying by and the veggies that are ready for harvest on the farm continues to grow. Here is what you can look forward to in your boxes this week-
The recipe this week is Cabbage rolls! Can you believe that I hadn’t even heard-let alone eaten-a cabbage roll until I was drowning in them last fall because of the farm share? I made them once and we LOVED them. First cabbage we got last week it was the first thing I made 🙂
I follow a simple recipe on allrecipes but adapt it to our household needs. My food processor is my best friend-throwing in bok choy-kale-onions-and all sorts of other greens (including basil and oregano) as well as radish and jerusalem artichoke. I added this mixture to a pan with garlic and butter and sauteed them for a shot bit. I then created a mixture of (I know-not healthy) cottage cheese (the whole container), half a container of softened cream cheese-threw an egg in and parmesan cheese-cooked rice and finally-the ground beef. Salt and pepper to taste-and put them inside of steamed cabbage leafs and rolled them up.
I used some more butter and garlic to soften the zucchini and onion and added that to a jar of organic tomato pasta sauce we get a costco and poured it over the cabbage rolls and baked them in the oven.
Here is the recipe I really didn’t follow but doesn’t have any of the cheese that I added to our dish
