Meat and vegetables go well together. A vivid example is such a popular dish as cabbage rolls.

If you wrap minced meat with rice in cabbage leaves and stew the resulting envelopes in tomato-sour cream sauce, you will get a luxurious dish.

But are envelopes the only possible form of the dish?

Of course not. You can also roll the cabbage rolls into a tube.

But it is better to pay attention to a non-standard method - wrapping into a cone.

The essence of the method

To get cabbage rolls of an unusual shape, you need to use cabbage leaves cut into triangles rather than whole ones.

Each piece of cabbage should be made into a cone and then filled with a mixture of chopped meat and rice.

The edges should be folded to close the resulting cone.

Before stewing, it is advisable to very quickly heat the cabbage rolls in a frying pan: this type of preliminary heat treatment ensures that the dish remains whole.

After completing all stages of preparation, you will get small and very appetizing cabbage rolls that will look great on the festive table.

In addition, such a dish will be very convenient to eat. Each cabbage roll will fit completely in your mouth - just like a pelmeni. There will be no need to cut off a piece from the dish.
