Core and steam cabbage periodically peeling off leaves when tender. Save small leaves and any extra to chop

Place the rolled cabbage in a large greased vessel. This can be a large roasting pan, Dutch oven, or other pot or pan that can hold the cabbage and sauce.

I'd suggest removing the finished rolled cabbage from the pan while leaving most of the tomato in the pan. This will enable you to stir the sauce, mixing in the thin sauce that came from the rolled cabbage as it cooked.
