Salt
1 medium head Savoy cabbage
1 pound peeled shrimp
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup bread crumbs, preferably fresh and lightly toasted
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, more or less
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 cups chopped tomatoes, with their liquid (canned is fine)
Black pepper

1
Bring pot of water to a boil, and add salt.
2
Meanwhile, remove enough outer leaves of cabbage to get 8 large, nearly perfect leaves.
3
Use a paring knife to remove their thickest vein.
4
Put leaves in boiling water until softened, a minute or so; remove, and drain on paper towels.
5
Combine shrimp, garlic, parsley, bread crumbs, cayenne, half the oil and a large pinch of salt in food processor, and pulse until well minced but not pureed.
6
Put portion of shrimp mixture on lower third of each leaf, fold in sides and roll up; don't overstuff, and don't roll too tightly.
7
Put remaining oil in a skillet that can be covered and is large enough to accommodate cabbage rolls; turn heat to medium-high.
8
Add onion, and stir occasionally, until it softens, 3 to 5 minutes.
9
Add tomatoes and some salt and pepper, and stir occasionally until tomatoes break up, 5 to 10 minutes.
10
Add cabbage rolls, and cover, adjusting the heat so the mixture simmers.
11
Cook 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until rolls are firm; taste sauce to adjust seasoning.
12
Serve with some sauce spooned over and garnished with parsley.
