Cabbage rolls are a traditional dish in many families. The treat is often prepared for holidays to please guests and household members with a tasty treat.
But at the same time, each housewife has her own secret for cooking cabbage rolls. The only problem that many have is related to the preparation of cabbage leaves.
The thing is that this component can be difficult to remove from the head of cabbage. Sometimes the process takes a long time.
Experienced housewives know that the procedure can be simplified.
It is important to choose the right vegetable.
The ideal choice is a medium-sized head of cabbage weighing up to one or a maximum of 1.5 kg. If you choose larger fruits, you should take into account that their leaves are tougher.
You should pay attention to the color of the cabbage. It is better to choose greener vegetables.
Next, when the cabbage is selected, it should be washed and the stalk should be cut out. Then the cabbage should be immersed in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. It is important to cover the pan with a lid. After this, the head of cabbage should be turned over and boiled for about 30 seconds.
After this time, you need to take the cabbage out of the boiling water and quickly remove the leaves one by one. If the fruit is large, then the procedure with boiling water can be repeated twice more.
