Let’s see how you can use herbs and seasonings to your advantage when making these rolls!

How long do the rolls take to cook?
They should be ready to go in 50 minutes or so, but you can always check the leaves’ tenderness.

No, you don’t need to do that. While some recipes require boiling the whole cabbage head before stuffing, this isn’t one of them.

“I made the stuffed cabbage before I saw this recipe, according to my mother’s recipe, which is exactly the same, just without the celery and parsley. It came out great! Next time I will try with the greens too.”
