The roasted red pepper was stuffed simply with seasoned cabbage, no rice. The asparagus is from locally grown farms and the pasta, the small O of it is imported from Italy and takes 20 minutes to cook. The rings can be threaded on a smaller girth of asparagus than these for a look like beadwork.
Some chopped cabbage and onion and olive oil with anise seed, herb bouillon, chinese 5 spice mix and a bay leaf cooked to soften.
Some more anise, some green onion and cabbage microwaved in butter gave a different depth of flavors.
