Apricot Beef Cabbage Rolls

Ok this is something I made up tonight - I was originally going to do a tomato thing, but I didn't have the ingredients for the recipe - and out of pure laziness, I decided to go with what I had in the cupboard, so the cabbage wrap idea wasn't mine, however, the filling is.

We'll see how it goes!

Ingredients:

Cabbage leaves

[sauce]

1 x pk french onion soup mix

1 x can apricot nectar

2 tbsp orange marmalade 

[filling]

500g mince beef

finely diced zucchini

finely diced pumpkin

finely diced onion 

cooked and cooled white rice (1/2 cup uncooked, which becomes about 1 cup cooked)

1 egg

ginger (to taste)

seasoning

a few tbsp worcestershire sauce

Mix sauce together in a bowl - allow to blend while preparing the rest.

Remove the outer, larger cabbage leaves carefully and blanch for a few minutes in boiling water until pliable - drain on paper towel.

Combine all filling ingredients together - lay out cabbage leaves and wrap around filling to create rolls. 

Place rolls in baking dish, pour over sauce, cover tightly with foil and bake in over (180 degrees) for 1 hour.
