  • Parboil the cabbage leaves: This will soften the leaves and make them more pliable, making them easier to roll and stuff.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! You can use anything from ground beef and rice to vegetables and cheese.
  • Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to your filling. This will give the cabbage rolls a delicious flavor.
  • Roll the cabbage rolls tightly: This will help to keep the filling inside the rolls and prevent them from falling apart.
