Tips
• Instead of ordinary white cabbage, you can use Savoy cabbage - its leaves do not need to be pre-processed, and it is much easier to wrap minced meat in them. The elastic thin leaves of young cabbage can be used without boiling.
• If the veins are hard and thick on the cabbage, they should be cut off or beaten off with a cooking hammer.
• Instead of boiling cabbage leaves, cabbage heads can be microwaved for 25 minutes. Or wrap the head of cabbage in foil and bake it in the oven for 40 minutes.
• Minced meat can be made from rice and mushrooms, from meat with coarse grated carrots, meat and grated zucchini.
• You can stew cabbage rolls not in sour cream sauce, but in the same amount of tomato juice. Then serve them better with sour cream.
