"In this recipe, delicious dumpling-like mushroom fillings are rolled into cabbage leaves and make rolls that are not only vegetarian but also vegan. If you prefer to keep them vegetarian, sauté your parsley potatoes with butter instead of margarine. Use a large cabbage so that the leaves are big enough to wrap around the fillings. You can also finely chop the remaining cabbage and add it to the sauce. Keep in mind it takes a bit of time to prepare the filings and roll them into shape. The good news is that the rolls do keep fresh in the refrigerator until the next day; if you prepare them a few days ahead, you can also freeze and defrost them before cooking. The freeze-and-defrost works with already cooked cabbage rolls, as well as with the raw ones."

    In a large pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Remove stalk from cabbage. Blanch cabbage head for approx. 10 min. until outer leaves are soft and peel off easily. Remove from water, let cool briefly, and peel off enough cabbage leaves for the amount of rolls. Finely chop parsley. Cut bread rolls into cubes. Coarsely chop mushrooms. Peel and finely dice onions. Peel and mince garlic. Remove water from the pot and wipe dry. Return the pot to medium heat and heat a little vegetable oil. Add mushrooms, half of the onion cubes and sauté for approx. 3–4 min. until translucent. Deglaze with plant-based milk and season generously with nutmeg, mustard, salt and pepper.

  • Step 2/4

    Add the bread cubes, half of the chopped parsley and the onion-milk mixture to a large bowl and gently knead into a sort of dumpling filling. Scoop approx. 2–3 tbsp of the filling onto the center of a cabbage leaf, roll it up and set aside. To do this, fold both sides over the filling and roll up from the stalk. Continue with the remaining cabbage leaves. If needed, seal cabbage rolls with a toothpick or some kitchen twine.

  • Step 3/4

    Heat a little vegetable oil in a roasting pan, or large, deep frying pan and fry the stuffed cabbage rolls on all sides until golden brown. Remove briefly from the roaster and set aside. Add some vegetable oil again. Add garlic and remaining onion and sauté for approx. 2–3 min. Add tomato paste and fry briefly. Deglaze with red wine, allow alcohol to evaporate and then add broth, soy sauce, cocoa powder and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water and add to thicken the sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil until the sauce is thickened enough. Add the fried rolls, cover and let simmer on low heat for approx. 30 min.
