Not only adults but also children love cabbage rolls. But most often, kids prefer to eat the filling, leaving the cabbage leaf untouched on the plate.
However, if you use the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", chef Yulia Arkhipova , you can be sure that even the most fastidious capricious people will sweep them away in no time.
Selecting Cabbage
The best option is young cabbage with its tender, juicy and tasty leaves. But if you have problems finding the right ingredient, try replacing it with Chinese cabbage.
If, despite everything, you prefer white cabbage in your cabbage rolls, choose the right head of cabbage – it should be round or slightly elongated.
Filling
The most delicious cabbage rolls will be those stuffed with minced meat, consisting of pork or beef.
Another important component is rice: it is recommended to pre-boil it until half-ready, so that it does not crunch on your teeth later. If you have not tried it yet, now is the time to include vegetables in the cabbage rolls: ripe tomatoes or zucchini are suitable in the summer, and in the winter and spring add more carrots and onions.
Sauce
Cabbage rolls should be stewed not in water, but in sauce - you can choose tomato, sour cream or a combination of both, which will provide the dish with a special aroma and unforgettable taste.
