In
a food processor or blender, puree all of the sauce ingredients
until smooth. Set aside.
Heat water to boiling in a pan coated with DuPont SilverStone®
non-stick. Core the cabbage and lower it into the water. Turn the
heat to simmer and cook the head of cabbage for 10 to 15 minutes
or until the outer leaves are tender and can be easily removed.
Retrieve the cabbage from the water and remove 12 of the outer leaves.
Make sure the cabbage is cooked tender. Overcooking will make the
leaves disintegrate. Save the remaining cabbage for another recipe.
Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet coated with DuPont SilverStone®
non-stick. Add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrot and sauté
over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Next, add the cashews and
sunflower seeds and season with salt and pepper to taste. When the
vegetables are tender, remove from the heat.
Place the Ricotta in a medium-sized bowl. Add the vegetables and
mix with the apple, raisins, lemon juice, soy sauce, and honey.
Mix well and taste to adjust seasonings.
Preheat oven to 325°. Place 3 to 4 tablespoons of the Ricotta
filling near the base of each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaves firmly,
folding in on the sides as you go. Arrange the cabbage rolls in
an oblong baking pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick.
Pour sauce over the top and cover with foil. Bake until heated through
(about 30 minutes) and serve.
