STUFFED CABBAGE 
1 lg. head cabbage
2 tbsp. fat
2 onions, sliced
3 c. canned tomatoes
3 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Beef bones, abut 4 to 6

Pour boiling water over the cabbage to cover and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove leaves carefully.

Heat the fat in a deep heavy large saucepan. Lightly brown the onions in it. Add the tomatoes, half of the salt and pepper and all the bones. Cook over low heat 30 minutes. While cooking put in the whole cloves.

Mix together the beef, grated onion, egg and water. Place some of the meat mixture on each cabbage leaf.
