Best Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

This tasty cabbage roll recipe uses tomato juice instead of tomato sauce. It has a slight tang to it from lemon juice and mint leaves. I got this recipe from my mother when she was in WW years ago. It's very tasty and well worth trying.

Very nice and easy too, the mint is a nice touch of freshness with the lemon, used fresh mint from the garden! I had a bottle of "hot & spicy" pizza sauce to use up, worked very nicely, I had no tomato juice. Super flavour with walla walla onion, the alspice & garlic. Made two casseroles for the freezer to use up a huge cabbage, will be nice for a lazy day sometime. We each had one for an appetizer for a taste, loved them, thanks for posting, I will make them again.
