Instructions: Bring 2 cups of water to boil, adding the rice and turmeric. Return to a boil, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Cook the lentils in 3 cups of boiling water until soft. Saute the onion, pepper, and garlic in olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables, rice, lentils, almonds and raisins. Fill each cabbage leaf with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup filling, beginning at the thick end of the leaf. Begin to fold this over, folding the edges in as you go to make a neat roll. Place the rolls in one or two casseroles, covering with the sauce. To prepare the sauce, combine the tomatoes, vinegar, basil and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Adjust the cinnamon/basil mix until its hard to taste either seasoning alone, and then add the salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Bake the cabbage rolls covered at 350 degrees, 45-60 minutes.
