Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup cooked farro
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce


Cooking Tips:

- Choose a cabbage head that is firm and heavy for its size.
- Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for a few minutes to make them pliable and easy to roll.

Cooking Process:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
3. Add the cooked farro, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
4. Place a cabbage leaf on a cutting board and spoon some of the filling onto the center of the leaf. Roll the leaf tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
5. Place the cabbage rolls in a baking dish and pour the chicken broth and tomato sauce over them.
6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is hot and bubbly.
