1 head cabbage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red pepper, finely chopped
1 medium yellow pepper, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

Using the reserved cabbage leaves place about 1/3 cup of filling in the middle of each leaf. Wrap cabbage leaf around the filling.
Once all the leaves are filled replace skillet on the stove.
Heat tomatoes over high heat until juice just starts to boil. Reduce heat to low and place rolled cabbage leaves in skillet. Cover
and cook about 13 minutes or until heated through.
