Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350. Cut largest part of stalk of cabbage leaf out (at base of leaf) and steam with 1/4 cup water 5 minutes in microwave, until soft. Let cool.

2. In large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef. Add onion and cook 5 minutes, until onion is soft. Stir in currants, apricots and Moroccan seasoning. Add orange juice, reduce slightly. Add tomatoes and spinach, stir and cook until most of liquid is evaporated.

3. Remove pan from heat and stir in couscous. Cool slightly.

4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce into bottom of 9×13-inch baking dish. Lay cabbage leaves out and place 1/2 cup beef filling in center of each leaf. Roll leaves around filling and place rolls, seam side down, into baking dish. Top with remaining sauce and bake 25 minutes.

Note: Savoy cabbage leaves are thinner and more pliable than plain green cabbage leaves. They make filling and rolling the leaves much easier.
