METHOD:

ONION PEPPER SAUCE

1.       Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed pan. Add finely minced onion to it and sauté till it turns a little brown.

2.       Add the flour to it and mix till it is well incorporated in the butter. Again cook the flour for 2 – 3 min till it stops giving out raw flavour.

3.       Pour in hot milk, little at a time and simultaneously whisk it so that lumps are not formed. You need to be fast since the flour and milk are both hot and so the flour tends to absorb the milk, starts cooking and thickening. Cook again till the sauce thickens and is of pouring consistency.

4.       Add salt and pepper. Once the sauce is cooked and ready, just add in finely chopped red pepper and mix. Check the consistency of the sauce, it should be thick but should be able to pour in a thick stream. Keep it warm till further use.

FILLING

5.       Heat butter, add in the onion. Sauté till it is soft.

6.       Then add in finely minced cauliflower. Again sauté till soft.

7.       Then add in the finely chopped red pepper, boiled rice, salt, pepper pdr, oregano, and chilli flakes. Mix lightly.

8.       Switch off the flame and cool.

RED CABBAGE ROLLS

9.       Bring a large pot half filled with water to a boil.

10.   Add salt to it and drop in a small whole red cabbage. Boil for 4 - 5 min.

11.   Remove the cabbage and run it under cold water.

12.   Slowly and carefully separate each cabbage leaf without tearing it.

13.   Cut out the thick part at the base of the leaves.

14.   Put 1 tbsp of the filling in the centre of each leaf. First fold over the filling the two cut ends at the base of the leaf. Then fold the two sides and then roll it to form like a roll.

15.   Arrange all the rolls in a baking tray.

16.   Pour the prepared sauce over the rolls. Grate cheese evenly on top. Sprinkle some mix herb and chilli flakes on top. If you want you can sprinkle some chopped spring onion greens on top.

17.   Bake at 200° C for 15 – 20 min till the cheese melts and browns a little on top. Serve hot.
