Cabbage Rolls

Stuffed cabbage rolls are FAR more about the stuffing than the cabbage! We use a single, softened cabbage leaf as the “shell” to wrap up the filling like a delicious dumpling! The savory stuffing is the true star of this show! It’s reminiscent of your favorite spaghetti with meat sauce, but rice replaces the pasta for a soft, satisfying, scoopable texture.

Homemade Cabbage Rolls (called “golabki” in Polish) are also simple to prepare and are loaded with protein, complex carbs, aromatic seasonings, and so much yummy flavor!
