Recipes FAQ

What kind of cabbage is best for cabbage rolls?

Savoy cabbage is the best cabbage to use for cabbage rolls, as it has more flavor and is more tender than other varieties. However, if you can't find Savoy cabbage, regular green cabbage will work just fine.

Can I use a different type of meat?

Yes, you can use any type of ground meat you like, such as ground turkey or pork. You can also use a combination of different meats.

Can I make this recipe in the oven instead of a slow cooker?

Yes, you can bake the cabbage rolls in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is cooked through.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to remove the tough center stem from each cabbage leaf before rolling the filling.
  • You can use toothpicks to hold the cabbage rolls together while they cook, but be sure to remove them before serving.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ground meat and use cooked lentils or mushrooms instead.
  • You can add additional vegetables to the filling, such as grated carrots or zucchini.
  • Serve the cabbage rolls with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top.
