📝 Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, cover brown rice with hot water and soak for 3 hours; drain.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine soaked rice, 3 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and simmer covered for 40 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Add dill seed, marjoram, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté chopped onion in 3 tablespoons oil until soft, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add paprika and garlic; continue cooking and stirring for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the rice mixture, eggs, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Adjust seasonings to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Core the cabbage and blanch the cabbage cored-side-down in boiling salted water for 5 minutes or until softened; drain.
- Remove 12 leaves and cut off one-fourth of each leaf from the base.
- Arrange 1 leaf curved-side down on a square of dampened cheesecloth and place 3 tablespoons of the rice mixture in the center.
- Wrap the leaf around the filling and twist the corners of the cheesecloth to form the leaf into a roll.
- Continue making rolls with the remaining filling.
- Chop the remaining cabbage to make 3 cups and, in a large frypan, sauté with 1 cup chopped onions and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until soft.
- Add tomatoes, vermouth, broth, tomato paste, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, and adjust seasonings to taste.
- Transfer cabbage-tomato sauce mixture to a large baking dish.
- Arrange the cabbage rolls close together in one layer on the sauce.
- Spoon some of the mixture over the rolls.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours, basting the rolls 4 to 5 times during cooking.
- Let the dish cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
