My parents are Ukrainian and always made this cabbage roll recipe when I was growing up. These cabbage rolls have no meat in them. Sometimes they used salt pork in them, but I didn't care for it.

Ingredients

  • medium head cabbage: 1 piece
  • water: 3 cups
  • ½ cups uncooked white rice: 1 piece
  • butter: 2 Tbsp
  • onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • salt and pepper: (to taste)
  • tomato juice: 1 can (46 fluid ounce can, or as needed)
