These were a nice alternative to the stuffed cabbage rolls with tomato sauce that I am used to. The prep time is quite a bit more than 10 minutes, though! It takes a while to remove the stems from the leaves, etc. I also didn't know at what temperature to cook these at, so I just went with 350 degrees. After 1-1/2 hours, most of the sauce had evaporated. However, they were very tasty, although I found them just a tad salty (probably should have used low-sodium broth). But, like I said, a nice alternative. Thanks for sharing. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.
