I have made cabbage rolls and FINALLY perfected them and appreciate the shortcuts cuts but #1 I feel that if you parboiled the rice before mixing with the meat mixture they would cook better. Also using a meatloaf mixture of meat and adding a creole seasoning such as Emeril's will add a little "kick" making it more flavorful.
