Cabbage Rolls with Walnuts

Submitted by Sandra Hyde

"Vegetarian cabbage rolls with walnut make this dish unusual. The paprike adds just a little dash to the mix. This recipe was given to me by one of my daughters school mates. I hope you enjoy the meatmess version."

I make a similar recipe though add some diced apple to the rice mixture and use a marinara sauce vs. this chef's creation. Brown rice in this makes for a hearty meal.<br/><br/>If you wanted to increase fiber & protein, a few cooked lentils in the rice mixture would work nicely.
