How to make it

  • Bring water and salt to a simmer in a saucepan. Add kasha, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Set aside.
  • Combine TVP, broth, liquid smoke and garlic powder in a bowl and allow to sit 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small amount of water over medium heat, cook onions and carrots until onions begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in TVP and spices, coating mixture well.
  • Scrape into a bowl and add cooked kasha, stir well. Season to taste (add more than you think you'll need, it "cooks out").
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Blanch cabbage leaves in water in batches, 3 minutes per batch.
  • Place 2-3 tbsp of the filling in each leaf and roll tightly.
  • Spread 1/2 the sauerkraut into the bottom of a casserole dish and arrange rolls on top in 1-2 layers.
  • Top with remaining sauerkraut, tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Pour water around the cabbage rolls to come half-way up the (first) layer - you may need more depending on your dish.
  • Cover and bake 1 hour.
  • Reduce oven to 350°F and cook, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover and cook 20 minutes longer.

    No-salt veg broth would also reduce the sodium count significantly. The sodium listed below also seems to include extra salt (as listed above). I'm sure that could be cut out too. I bet with those two changes the sodium count would likely be closer to 800mg. Can't wait to try this recipe!!!

    Using water instead of the veg broth would definitely help, and if you can find a lower sodium variety of saurkraut (or rinse it before you use it). Both those would help!

    Hey Jo Jo is there a way to reduce the sodium in these? They sound so good but the sodium is high! Thanks!
