Tips for Successful Recipe Making
Choosing the right cabbage: Savoy cabbage is particularly tender and easy to roll.
Pre-cook the rice: This ensures that the stuffing cooks evenly.
Fresh tip: A squeeze of lemon juice or a little dill adds a lively touch.
Prepare in advance: The dish is even better the next day.
Freezing: You can freeze the raw rolls in their sauce and cook them later.
Meat variations: Try a pork/beef, chicken, or lamb mix.
Vegetarian version: Replace meat with lentils, quinoa or mushrooms.
