This is similar to the Cabbage Dolma - the combination of minced meat and fried cabbage is brilliant. In this recipe it’s taken to its extreme, it is basically a large pan of cabbage and minced meat. Chopped, mixed, and oven-baked. The combination of caramelized cabbage and juicy mince is just as delicious in this vegan version as it was in the meat version.
The trick to getting a really tasty cabbage casserole is to use some type of shapable mince and to finely chop the cabbage, so the mince gets enough contact surface to bind. You can also use regular vegan mince if you like, but shapable helps to get the right consistency.
