Cabbages Rolls

Ah, cabbage rolls! 😋 They’re a delicious dish made by wrapping a filling—usually a mix of meat, rice, and seasonings—inside cabbage leaves, then cooking them in a sauce. They’re popular in many cultures, with variations in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

Ingredients (basic version):

• Cabbage leaves (blanched to soften)

• Ground meat (beef, pork, chicken, or a mix)

• Rice (partially cooked or soaked)

• Onion and garlic (finely chopped)

• Spices (salt, pepper, paprika, herbs)

• Tomato sauce or broth for cooking

Steps:

1. Prepare the cabbage: Remove core, boil leaves until soft.

2. Make the filling: Mix meat, rice, onion, garlic, and seasonings.

3. Roll them up: Place a spoonful of filling on each leaf and roll tightly, tucking in the sides.

4. Cook: Layer rolls in a pot, pour tomato sauce or broth over, cover, and simmer for about 45–60 minutes.

Optional twists:

• Some recipes add a bit of sugar or vinegar to the tomato sauce for a sweet-sour flavor.

• You can bake them in the oven instead of simmering.
