In apple cider, sauté onion and garlic until onion is soft. Add rice, raisins and some more cider. Heat gently for a few minutes to let flavors meld.
Take cabbage and core and plunge into hot water for a few - (5 minutes/) to loosen leaves. Peel off a dozen or so leaves.
Put a layer of sauce in the bottom of the pan. Roll the cabbage leaves around the rice mixture by putting a Tbsp or so of the mixture I the middle of the cabbage leaf, fold up the sides and roll. Put the rolled cabbage on the sauce; layer as needed by putting sauce on top of the cabbage, adding more rolls, end with sauce. Cover and bake 30 minutes in a 350° oven.
Sauté onion and garlic. Add crushed tomato. Simmer 5 minutes. Add apple cider and lemon juice. Simmer 5 more minutes. It's done.
