Directions
Steam 2 to 3 minutes, and set aside.
Combine next 11 ingredients; mix well, and set aside.
Pare down the outside of thick ribs of cabbage leaves until thin.
Arrange 4 or 5 cabbage leaves in a lightly greased 2-quart ovenproof bowl, placing leaf tips toward center with rib ends extending beyond edge of bowl.
(The leaves should overlap.) Spoon one-third of meat mixture into bowl, and spread evenly over cabbage.
Cover with 2 to 3 cabbage leaves and press gently; repeat.
Spread with remaining meat mixture, and fold over cabbage ends.
Top with the remaining cabbage leaves, and press down.
Bring broth to a boil; slowly pour over cabbage mixture, easing a knife between leaves and inside of bowl so liquid will flow down.
Cover and bake at 400° for 30 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350°, and bake an additional hour.
Tilt bowl carefully, and drain off liquid; let stand 5 minutes, and drain again.
Invert onto a serving plate; cut into wedges.
Serve with Spicy Tomato Sauce.
