Steps:

• Combine the beef shanks and water in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Use a strainer to skim off any foam on the surface. Add the carrot pieces, whole onions, celery stalks, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 4 hours, skimming the surface occasionally.
• Strain the stock. Discard the vegetables but reserve the meat. Allow the stock to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a covered container and refrigerate overnight. When the beef shanks are cool, remove the meat from the bones. Discard bones and gristle. Dice the meat and any remaining marrow into small cubes. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, heat the vegetable oil in a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and 1 diced onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and cook 1 additional minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly wilted and reduced in bulk, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the beef stock from the refrigerator; skim and discard any fat. Pour the stock into the pot; stir in the reserved chopped beef. Add the tomatoes with their juice. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the soup, partially covered, until the cabbage is quite soft, about 1 hour.
• Stir in the lemon juice, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper. Add more water, if desired, for a thinner soup. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• While water is coming to a boil, remove 8 outer leaves from the head of cabbage. Shred remaining cabbage. Place 4 cups shredded cabbage in the bottom of a 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. Reserve any extra cabbage for another use.
• Cook the outer cabbage leaves in the boiling water until just limp, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain. Trim the thick rib in the center of each leaf; set aside.
• Combine beans, rice, 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic in a medium bowl. Divide bean mixture evenly among cooled cabbage leaves, using about 1/3 cup mixture per leaf. Fold the sides of each leaf over the filling and roll up.
• Combine remaining spaghetti sauce, raisins, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a bowl.
• Pour 1/2 of the sauce over the cabbage in the slow cooker; stir to mix. Place cabbage rolls on top and pour remaining sauce over the rolls.
• Cover and cook on Low for 7 to 9 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours.
