Didn't miss the rice in this version of stuffed cabbage. Did add cider vinegar in addition to the lemon juice and a large can of plum tomato puree, some water (enough to cover the cabbages), ketchup and tomato paste to make a flavorful sauce to serve with the stuffed cabbages. Chopped up the remaining cabbage to cook in the sauce. Put everything in a dutch oven. Started on the stove top and once it came to a boil, transferred it to a 325 degree oven for an hour. Came out delicious.
