  Cover the rolls two-thirds full of water, arrange rinsed
  sauerkraut on top, sprinkle over the peper corns and the
  bay leaves on top, COVER and cook slowly for about 1 1/2
  hours, or until the rice is tender.
  
  The rolls are piled on a bed of silky sauerkraut.
  
  Serves 6. (Serve with good crusty bread and cold beer.)
