10 Cabbage rolls, 4 to 5 servings
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cabbage and cook, covered, until the layers of the leaves peel off easily. Peel off the tender outer leaves and choose 10 of the largest ones. (Save the remaining cabbage for another use, such as stir-frying).
In a medium saucepan boil water and cook rice for 5 minutes only. Drain and add to the mixing bowl.
In a skillet, add oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic cloves. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the mixing bowl containing the rice. Add ground beef, egg, cinnamon, parsley and pepper. Mix well.
Place about 1/3 cup of the filling in the center of the cabbage leaf, fold and overlap the sides, bring up the bottom, and fold the top down over the bottom, overlap. Hold together with a wooden tooth pick by sticking the tooth pick through the leaves and back up again like a safety pin. Place roll on plate with tooth pick side down. Repeat with remaining leaves.
Open can of tomatoes pour into crock pot. Crush with hands and add the brown sugar to the tomatoes. Mix together. Place the cabbage rolls tooth pick side down into the sauce by layers. Cover and slow-cook until the rolls are tender, 6 to 7 hours on low.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rolls to a serving platter. Pour the sauce into a boat for serving with the cabbage rolls.
Although these are wonderful alone, you may want to cook potatoes or carrots to accompany them (not calculated). Also to make vegetarian rolls replace the ground beef with a Low salt can of red kidney beans (or bean of choice) and a cup of frozen corn (thawed) (not calculated).
