Classic recipes are changed not because something in them is not to your liking, but when you want new flavors.
An example would be stuffed cabbage rolls, or more precisely, stuffing for stuffed cabbage rolls. Sometimes the mince is replaced with vegetables or mushrooms. But you can replace individual ingredients of the mince.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told what to add to the stuffing for cabbage rolls instead of rice.
Vegetables
Use fried carrots and onions, which go best with minced chicken.
Bell peppers, cabbage or zucchini will also work.
Mushrooms
Unlike the first dietary option, these will be more filling and even “heavy” cabbage rolls.
Minced meat goes well with mushrooms, any kind. They are added after preliminary frying.
Cereals
Buckwheat, pearl barley and even bulgur have proven themselves to be quite good in cabbage rolls.
And some cooks manage to make cabbage rolls with oatmeal.
Earlier we talked about whether it is worth adding tomato paste to borscht .
