Creole Cabbage Rolls

Core cabbage and place in boiling salted water until 12 outer leaves can be separated.

Set them aside; reserve water.

Chop remainder of cabbage.

Mix ground beef, rice, minced onion, parsley, salt, pepper, Tabasco and egg.

Divide mixture into 12 parts and place in cabbage leaves, making rolls by folding in the sides and rolling up.

Place rolls, seam side down in a 2-quart casserole on top of chopped cabbage.

Saute garlic, chopped onion and green pepper in butter for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes, honey and lemon juice.

Simmer gently 10 minutes, then stir in 1 cup of cabbage water and spoon over cabbage rolls.

Cover and bake at 350° for about 1 hour.
