In England they are called “cabbage rolls”, in France – “cabbage cigars”, in Spain – “stuffed cabbage”, in Germany – “sausage in cabbage” or “cabbage sausages”.





Blubers are cooked in different countries, but no matter what you call mince and rice wrapped in cabbage leaves, and the taste does not change. Should I change it? After all, dishes from ordinary cabbage simply do not taste better!





In ideal blueberries, cabbage leaves should be soft, filling - juicy and fragrant, and gravy should enhance and emphasize the taste of the finished dish. But it turns out that, unfortunately, not always. "Site" How to avoid the most common mistakes.

    In order for the leaves to wrap well, the head must be boiled, and before that, cut the cap. If the streaks on the leaves are too thick, it is better to beat off the leaves with a wooden hammer.

    In the water for cooking kochan need to add a little vinegar, then the leaves better retain their integrity and will not tear. Boiling should be stopped immediately when the upper leaves begin to separate from the kochan and become transparent.

    Another way to make cabbage leaves softer is to freeze. In the evening put in the freezer, in the morning to get. After thawing cabbage It will look like boiled.
