What's Cooking This Weekend

The weather is a little bit cooler now, and that has me thinking of all the comfort food I want to cook when the weather gets even chillier. I felt like experimenting a little bit today, to try to come up with a casserole that would be nice and soothing for the fall and winter.

This is in the oven right now:

Filling:

1 lb ground pork
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 cup onion, finely diced
2 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
1-2 TBL soy sauce
Pepper to taste

10 Savoy cabbage leaves, blanched and tough middle removed
8 portobello mushroom caps, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 small bunch green onions, sliced


Sauce:
½ cup teriyaki sauce
½ cup orange juice
1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, grated or minced
Chili flake to taste


Heat the oven to 350 F.
Mix the meat filling ingredients together in a large bowl. Take the blanched cabbage leaves and roll 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture up, burrito-style, in each leaf.
Spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Layer the vegetables on the bottom. Place each cabbage roll on top.
Mix together the sauce ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup. Pour over the cabbage rolls. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes, until vegetables are tender and meat is cooked through.


Eat this dish for comfort and to increase prosperity and abundance.

Oh that sounds so tastey! Autumn is definitely in the air over here, we've even bought the ingredients for the chestnut roast. It's a fall favourite in our house.
