Helpful hints

• Cabbage rolls can be cooked in a slow cooker on low setting for 6 to 8 hours instead of baked in the oven.
• If you are following a low-potassium diet, be aware 2 cabbage rolls are equal to 2 vegetable servings. Consuming extra servings of fruits or vegetables can cause high potassium levels.

This was excellent - I used the "crock pot" to do my cooking, and "low sodium" tomatoe paste - my husband and I both loved them. I made " Southern-style Cornbread--Low Phosphorus" to go with it - the cabbage rolls were moist and flavorful - thank you - we will be making them again.
