How to make it
- Rinse the corn grits in several changes of water and leave them to soak for 30 minutes. Separate the cabbage leaves; if they are very salty, rinse them.
- Sauté the onions and carrots in 50 ml oil, then add the drained corn grits, paprika, thyme and pepper. Stir for 2–3 minutes without cooking the grits through.
- Fill each leaf with a spoonful of the mixture and roll up the cabbage rolls. Put chopped cabbage in the bottom of the pot, arrange the rolls on top and add the tomato juice, the water and the remaining oil.
- Simmer, covered, over a very low heat for 1½–2 hours, until the corn grits are soft. Top up with hot water when needed.
