 Stuffed Cabbage with Rice & Pine Nuts

      2 md Cabbage heads                     1/4 c  Chopped fresh parsley
      3 tb Clarified butter                  1/4 c  Chopped fresh dill
      1 md Onion; chopped fine                      Salt & freshly ground pepper
      1 c  Water                               3    Eggs
      1 c  Raw long grain rice                 1    Lemon, juice only
    1/4 c  Raisins or currants                 2 tb Butter; cut into bits
    1/2 c  Pine nuts

  Plunge cabbages into boiling salted water and cook about 8 minutes,
  then drain thoroughly and set aside while you prepare the filling. In
  a heavy skillet heat the clarified butter, add the chopped onions and
  cook until soft and transparent.  Add the water and bring to a boil,
  then add the rice and stir.  Lower the heat and simmer gently until
  the rice has absorbed the liquid, approximately 15 minutes.  Remove
  from heat and add the raisins or currants, pine nuts, parsley, dill
  and season with salt and pepper. Cool. Separate 2 of the eggs and mix
  the egg whites into filling. Reserve the yolks for the avgolemono.
  Stuff and roll the cabbage leaves, using one heaping tablespoon
  filling, roll up snugly, then place, seam side down, in a casserole.
  Dot with butter and add water to cover, then cover cabbage rolls with
  an inverted plate and cover casserole. Simmer for approximately 1
  hour, then transfer to a warm serving dish and keep warm. Strain the
  remaining liquid for the avgolemono sauce. Beat the remaining eggs
  and yolks for 2 minutes. Continuing to beat, gradually add the lemon
  juice. Then add the 1-1/2 cups cooking liquid by droplets, beating
  steadily, until all has been added. Cook over hot water, not boiling,
  stirring constantly until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
  Pour over the cabbage rolls and serve hot.
