Default steel cut irish oats

Hi Karen:
This is a follow-up on a previous post (in Kitchen Help) regarding a replacement for rice in stuffed grape leaves. This spiked my interest in developing a cabbage roll dish. I did try using McCann's steel cut irish oats as a replacement for the rice and it worked just fine---I did, however, have to rinse the cooked oats under running water to remove the "mushiness" (and a lot of the starch, i.e., carbs... and that's a good thing!)). After rinsing, the oats where separate and about the size of raw pearled barley - I mixed them with cooked ground beef, added some spices to my taste, wrapped the mixture up in blanched cabbage leaves, put them in a casserole, added some tomato juice, baked them ... and voila, I had some delicious low carb cabbage rolls. I'm not in a position to give an exact recipe for this, nor an exact carb count... I just know that it worked well and tasted great.
Regards
