Notes

* If substituting white rice with brown rice, cook with .75 cups water prior to starting this recipe.

The Leek is great, but it can be omitted if needed.

You could make multiple layers of cabbage, it's best if the top layer has larger pieces of cabbage.

When boiling and frying cabbage, I think it's best to cook it a 3rd at a time, with the last 3rd being the larger cut leaves, which will be the top layer. Not necessary - just a nice touch to the dish!

Serve with Lingonberry jam or ketchup with whole red baby potatoes as a side.

This dish should be juicy. Serve with remaining broth/juice from casserole dish.
