How long should i boil cabbage leaves for stuffed cabbage?

I cut out the core and then try to carefully separate the leaves. I don't boil them but steam them until they are just softened enough to roll up. Then I secure with toothpicks. They will cook the rest of the way in the oven or pot or however you decide to cook them. I prefer my cabbage to be cooked so still firm, not mushy.

boil them about 3 minutes to make them soft and plyable or they will break when rolled... also dry them some on paper towels as the sauce will get watery on u if u dont...

2 lb. extra-lean ground beef

1/2 c. chopped onion

1 c. cooked rice

1/2 c. chopped celery

2 lg. eggs

16 oz. can tomato sauce

1 lg. head cabbage

12 oz. can beer

1/2 c. brown sugar

1/4 c. apple cider vinegar

6 oz. can tomato sauce

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ground beef, onion, rice, celery, eggs and 1/4 of 16 ounce can of tomato sauce.

Step 2: Boil whole cabbage 15 minutes on low heat, drain. This can be done in advance. Remove leaves, cut off core from each leaf. Wrap meat mixture in leaves, roll up, tuck in ends. Step 3: Place in roasting pan, skin side down. Mix remaining tomato sauce from 16 ounce can with beer, brown sugar and vinegar. Pour over stuffed cabbage and cover.

Step 4: Bake for 1/2 hour, reduce oven to 250 degrees and continue to bake for 3 1/2 hours. Uncover, pour on 6 ounce can tomato sauce, bake additional 1 1/2 hours. These may be made a day ahead.
Reply:Until you can get them off of the head, and are soft enough to roll. Take the outer layers off and put back in the water until they all will come off. Then chop up the center parts that aren't big enough to roll, and use to add flavor inbetween layers.

Reply:Kimberly great recipe, but what can you use in place of the beer? Can you use chicken broth?
