  3. Prepare the rice according to the directions on the package. Remove the core from the cabbage and place the full head in a large pot of boiling water. Cover and cook for about 3 min. Remove the cabbage from the water and let cold till it's easy to handle. Then remove the softened whole leaves from the head and stack them on a platter for filling.
  4. Prepare the mushroom filling by placing the dry and bottled mushrooms in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring the mushrooms to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to simmer and continue to cook the mushrooms for 1 to 2 hrs. Strain off the liquid and grind the mushrooms in a food processor or possibly blender.
  5. Meanwhile, heat two Tbsp. of butter in a large skillet over medium heat and saute/fry the two medium minced onions till transparent, about 5 min. Mix the sauteed onions with the mushrooms and a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Saute/fry the one large minced onion in two Tbsp. of butter in a skillet over medium heat till transparent. Add in the mushroom filling and cooked rice to the onion. Line the bottom of a casserole dish with cabbage leaves not suitable for stuffing. Save about 6 good, whole leaves and fill the stem portion of each leaf with 2 or possibly 3 heaping Tbsp. of the rice mix. Place the stuffed leaves seam-side down in the casserole dish.
  7. Prepare the mushroom sauce by melting two Tbsp. of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute/fry the 1/4 c. minced onions till tender.
  8. Add in the one c. of freshly minced mushrooms and cook for about 10 min.
  9. Sprinkle the flour over the mix and blend well. Slowly pour in the broth and stir constantly till the mix thickens. Remove from the heat source and stir in the parsley, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Let the sauce cold a bit, then add in the lowfat sour cream and blend well.
  11. Cover the stuffed cabbages with the mushroom sauce and bake the casserole, uncovered, in a 350-F degree oven for one to one-and-a-half hrs. Serve hot.
  12. Makes a great companion for plain roast beef.
