16 cabbage leaves blanched to soften
1 large onion
5 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 package Mori-Nu light firm silken tofu
2 cups cooked course bulgar wheat
1 8oz can tomato sauce
I started by carefully taking the cabbage leaves apart and blanching them in boiling water to soften. Next time I think I'll steam the whole cored head as it would be easier to remove the leaves. I heated a pan, added the olive oil and sautéed the onions, garlic and most of the parsley. I reserved some for garnishing on top. This was cooked until softened. This mixture was added to the bulgar and tofu. I just mashed up the tofu with my hands with all the other ingredients. I also added salt and pepper and a bit of vinegar to the stuffing. These were rolled in the softened cabbage leaves, placed in a baking dish, and topped with the tomato sauce. Parsley was sprinkled on top and it baked for about 40 minutes at 375F.

Those looks awesome Greg! :)
Looks nice and healthy. i have been meaning to do a cabbage wrap for a while now.
Hi Greg, I did visit Jen's lovely cabbage rolls and yours look just as wonderful. I must keep them in mind and have them one day!
What a great idea, combining the tofu and bulgar! These look scrumptious, and I can almost taste the incredible combo of flavors and textures already... Yum...
That looks healthy and delicious. When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Japanese cabbage rolls, which are stuffed with minced pork and shitake and then simmered in stock (instead of baked).

Thanks for all the comments. I will have to try those Japanese rolls. They sound delicious.
That looks tasty and healthy! Love bulgar, so it's good to see another way of incorporating them into my meals.
