Directions
To prepare marinara:Heat 3 tablespoons oil, 2 cups onion and sliced garlic in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add wine; cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, crushed red pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and cook for 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pat dry.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are brown, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper, zucchini, garlic, pepper and salt and cook, stirring often, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
Add egg, rice, herbs, 1/2 cup Gouda, Parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice and hot sauce to the vegetables and mix well.
Spoon about 1/3 cup filling into each cabbage leaf and roll up, tucking in the sides. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish and spread the marinara over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Gouda.
Bake until bubbling around the edges and the cheese has melted, about 25 minutes.
To make ahead
Prepare through Step 5 and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Tip
Carolina Gold rice is a flavorful, long-grain variety that first arrived in the Carolinas with enslaved people in the 1600s. (The yellow-hued crop became known as “the golden seed.") It has a fluffy texture that’s a favorite in low-country cooking. Find it with other rices at the grocery store or online.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
