Lamb/Sqaush Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Green Tomato/Pepper Sauce

It does not happen often but yesterday I had a sleep day, this only worked because Dh was working from home, I did get up and make some meals and even had a bit of a visit or two.. but overall it was as lazy of a day as it can get.. DH did morning and evening chores, plus some house chores, and even made lunch for us, he worked and I slept.. I must have needed it, the rules were simple, no reading, no music, while in bed, if I was tired and went to bed, then I would sleep or I would get up and get myself into gear.. turns out my body was not lying, I slept most of the day, but I needed a make it and forget it meal..

I made a odd cabbage roll recipe but it turned out very good indeed so thought I would share it with you..I am assuming that you know how to make cabbage rolls already.. so I cooked up half a pd of lamb burger, with some onion and then added to it a 1/2 cup of green pepper pasta sauce and 1/4 cup of cooked sqaush, then stuffed the leaves to which I poured over a mix of Green Tomato and Green Pepper Pasta Sauces and baked for an hour and half till everything was tender an smelled heavenly.. I poured the sauce over them an then served with a dollop of yogurt, so good!

    I’m sure that if I go digging about in my mountain of cookbooks I’d come across a recipe for Green Tomato and Green Pepper Pasta Sauces. I’m assuming here that we’re talking about 2 sauces? The Green Tomato Sauce has my full attention.

    I am fortunate to have a “tomato farm” nearby (I don’t have room for gardening yet; need to relocate) and they grow tomatoes in hoop garden houses as soon as the season begins until fall frost. They have a steady supply of green tomatoes and I would love to try another green tomato recipe.

    I fell in love with Hungarian/Russian sliced green tomato “salad” and made some this summer. I’ve been making green tomato piccalili since I helped my grandmother as a youngun’. I did try a jar of locally-made green tomato sweet pickle slices, but will stick to bread’n butter cukes and Sunshine Pickle.

    But a Green Tomato sauce? I’d love that recipe!

    • Hi Brenda

      Its way to simple, I just take big green tomato’s, onion, garlic an apple cider vinager, and simmer it down into a thick sauce with salt, pepper, and can it up, If you like the taste of fried green tomato, then you will like green tomato sauce. Its a bit more chunky then the red or green pepper sauce.

      The pepper sauce is pretty much the same, but I blend the green peppers, onion and garlic and then simmer down to a thick sauce and then can..

      They are really good and easy to make..
