Ingredients

1 cup basmati rice
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 cup lentils
3/4 cup raisins (may use currants, raisins,, or apricots)
3/4 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, diced
1 large green or red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large cabbage -sauce:--
3 (28 oz.) cans tomatoes
4 tsp dried basil
2 tsp ground cinnamon salt and pepper to, taste


Directions

Bring 2 cups of water to boil, adding the rice and turmeric. Return
to a boil, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Cook the lentils in 3
cups of boiling water until soft. Saute the onion, pepper, and garlic
in olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables, rice,
lentils, almonds and raisins. Fill each cabbage leaf with about 1/2
to 3/4 cup filling, beginning at the thick end of the leaf. Begin to
fold this over, folding the edges in as you go to make a neat roll.
Place the rolls in one or two casseroles, covering with the sauce. To
prepare the sauce, combine the tomatoes, vinegar, basil and cinnamon
in a large saucepan. Adjust the cinnamon/basil mix until it's hard to
taste either seasoning alone, and then add the salt and pepper.
Simmer for 10 minutes. Bake the cabbage rolls covered at 350 degrees,
45-60 minutes.

The History of Recipes

Food historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were two books which date from the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food served to the wealthy.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an increase in cookery books, some of which still exist in academic collections.

The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this.
