Rolling the Cabbage
Fill and Roll: Place a spoonful of the filling onto each cabbage leaf, then fold in the sides and roll it up like a burrito.
Secure with Toothpicks: To keep your rolls intact during cooking, use toothpicks to secure the ends.
Cooking the Rolls
Simmer in Sauce: Place the cabbage rolls in a baking dish and cover them with tomato sauce. Bake in the oven or simmer on the stovetop until the rolls are heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese over the top of your cabbage rolls for a finishing touch. Serve them hot alongside mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a cozy, satisfying meal.
