- 1 head of cabbage

Remove the centre core and outer leaves from 1 head of cabbage and drop it into boiling water. Lift out after a few minutes and remove the soft leaves. Repeat, immersing the head and removing leaves until you have separated 12 of them.
In a large bowl, mix the rice, garlic, almonds, olives, parsley, thyme, zucchini and salt. Put a portion of this mixture into the middle of each cabbage leaf, fold the sides over and then roll them up into a packet. Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
To prepare the sauce, put the tomatoes, chillies and garlic in a blender and puree and strain. Add the salt to taste. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls, cover and bake for 20 minutes.
