Lightly beat egg whites, and combine with cabbage, beef, rice, mustard, and pepper. Remove cabbage leaves from hot water and lightly pat dry. Roll 1/4 cup beef-rice mixture into each leave and place in large casserole dish, topping with any remaining meat mixture. Chop onion and mince garlic cloves. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil and cook onion until transparent and tender.
