Introduction

I got the original recipe for these kasha-stuffed cabbage rolls layered in between ribbons of sauerkraut from one of my old church cookbooks. All I did was nix the ground pork and swap in TVP, veggie broth and liquid smoke or a hearty vegan dinner delight.
Makes 6 servings, 4 rolls each

Ingredients

    2 cups water
    pinch salt
    1 cup toasted buckwheat (kasha)
    1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
    1 cup hot vegetable broth
    1/4 tsp liquid smoke
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    2 large onions, minced
    2 large carrots, coarsely grated
    1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
    1/2 tsp smoked paprika
    salt & pepper
    24 leaves Savoy cabbage
    3 cups sauerkraut, drained
    28 oz crushed tomatoes
    1 sprig thyme
    4 bay leaves
    2/3 cup water

Directions

Bring water and salt to a simmer in a saucepan. Add kasha, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Set aside.
Combine TVP, broth, liquid smoke and garlic powder in a bowl and allow to sit 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small amount of water over medium heat, cook onions and carrots until onions begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in TVP and spices, coating mixture well.

Scrape into a bowl and add cooked kasha, stir well. Season to taste (add more than you think you'll need, it "cooks out").
Preheat the oven to 375°F and bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Blanch cabbage leaves in water in batches, 3 minutes per batch.
Place 2-3 tbsp of the filling in each leaf and roll tightly.
Spread 1/2 the sauerkraut into the bottom of a casserole dish and arrange rolls on top in 1-2 layers.
Top with remaining sauerkraut, tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Pour water around the cabbage rolls to come half-way up the (first) layer - you may need more depending on your dish.
Cover and bake 1 hour.
Reduce oven to 350°F and cook, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover and cook 20 minutes longer.
