After sautéing chopped onions I added ground venison to brown. A good time to add your bouillon cubes.

Added rice and spices (garlic powder, cumin, steak seasoning, salt and pepper).

I found it easier to remove the cabbage leaves by first removing the core from the bottom of the cabbage. Once you have your twelve leaves, you boil each one for one minute them drain on paper towels. Divide venison mixture into the center of the 12 cabbage leaves. Fold each leaf over and secure with a toothpick. Place each stuffed leaf in a greased baking dish them pour sauce over each leaf. Bake at 325° for 45 minutes. Serves six.

In the center of the cabbage leaf add equal amounts of venison/rice mixture. Note: The recipe called for the cabbage leaves to cook for one minute which left parts of them a bit crunchy. When I cook them again I am going to try two minutes to see how they turn out.

Note: With this dish you can add your own favorite seasoning to flavor it in any way. Also I found the cabbage leaves a bit crunchy with just one minute of boiling. Use your judgment on if you want to cook them longer.

I found so many ways to cook this recipe on-line so I just decided to modify a couple and make them mine. One more tip, this is a large meal… if you have a small family I suggest cutting the recipe in half unless you are having company over. I hope you enjoy!
