LAZY UN-STUFFED CABBAGE

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 large onion, quartered
• 4 ribs celery, peeled
• 2 granny smith apples, unpeeled, quartered
• 1 large bunch dill
• 3 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
• 1 large head white cabbage, sliced very thin (food processor)
• 1 cup golden or black raisins
• 2 cups short grain brown rice
• 6 cups canned crushed tomatoes
• 6 cups cranberry juice
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 2 cinnamon paprika
• 4-5 bay leaves, or 1 teaspoon ground
• Salt (just a drop if at all) and pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a wide bottom pot. In a food processor, coarsely grind the onion, celery, apples and dill. Add the ground mixture to the pot and saute until translucent. Add the meat and saute a few more minutes, stirring, until no longer pink. Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to medium, and cook, covered, 1 hour, or a little longer, until the cabbage is very tender. Transfer onto a platter, and serve hot.
