Fill a large pot with a few inches of water and insert a steamer basket; bring to a boil. Place whole head of cabbage into the steamer basket
cover
and steam until tender
10 to 12 minutes.
At the same time
bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice and reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed
about 20 minutes.
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent
about 5 minutes. Stir onion into cooked rice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut leaves off cabbage and cut any larger leaves in half. Spoon 1 tablespoon rice into each leaf and roll tightly. Stack rolls in layers in the prepared casserole dish. Pour tomato juice over the rolls
using enough just to cover.
Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
