2 cabbages (I prefer Savoy, the crinkly ones)
Sauce Mixture:
Cut stem off cabbage and try to core a little bit. Steam cabbage in microwave or on top of stove (or freeze cabbage and leaves will become limp). Cool cabbage well or it will be hard to handle. Separate cabbage leaves, trimming the hard "veins" if necessary and retaining the largest leaves.
Place sliced onions, carrots, parsnips, celery stalks in bottom of large roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt, brown sugar, lemon juice. Set aside.
Prepare meat mixture. Place heaping tablespoon of meat mixture onto cabbage leaf at base of vein. Roll once, fold in sides of cabbage, roll up.
Place cabbage rolls on top of vegetable mixture. Cover holishkes with crushed tomatoes, undiluted tomato soup, and pour water over top.
Cover and bake at 350°F for 1-1/2 hours.
