  (1 large can)

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using a pairing
  knife, remove the core from the bottom of the cabbage. Using tongs, slowly lower
  the cabbage into the boiling water, being very careful not to splash the water.
• 2 As each leaf begins to pull away from the cabbage, remove it with the tongs and
  place it into a strainer. Try to grab the leaf from the bottom stem area to
  avoid breaking it. Once done, discard the center of the cabbage and any
  remaining water in the pot.
• 3 In a separate medium bowl, combine the beef, pork, rice, onion, egg,
  Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and spices. Work the meat together until
  well-combined.
• 4 In the pot we just drained, stir together the tomatoes, parsley, sugar,
  Worcestershire sauce, and sauce spices. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, and
  ladle some of the sauce into the baking dish, covering the bottom.
• 5 Place a cabbage leaf on a cutting board. Cut the bottom of the stem off (using a
  V shape, about 1-inch), so the leaf lays flat. Spoon about 3-4 tablespoons of
  the meat mixture onto the center of the leaf.
• 6 Fold both sides inwards, then roll the leaf over the meat mixture. Place
  seam-side down into the baking dish. Repeat until you have a full layer of rolls
  in the baking dish.
• 7 Pour the remaining sauce on top of the cabbage rolls, and cover the baking dish
  in tinfoil. Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until the rolls are cooked through.
