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.

really, really good. I used left-over cooked rice and low sodium tomato paste. Also, I, too, used the slow cooker..on low for 4 hours. Served it with boiled new potatoes (the tiny ones) We didn't have a dessert because by that time, dinner, I had used up my limit of P and K.

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.
