Stuffed cabbage rolls are a traditional Ukrainian dish that many people love. They can be either an independent dish or an addition to other dishes.

To make delicious cabbage rolls, it is important not only to roll them properly but also to stew them properly. The tips are shared on the prostoway website.

The process of stewing cabbage rolls should not be too long. About 40-50 minutes will be enough. If you stew the cabbage rolls longer, they will become dry and hard.

You can use water or broth to stew cabbage rolls. If you choose water, the cabbage rolls will be more dense and juicy. If you choose broth, the cabbage rolls will be more tender and flavorful.

For a delicious cabbage roll stew, you can add vegetable frying. To do this, fry onions, carrots and bell peppers in vegetable oil.

Add bay leaf for flavor.

Put the prepared cabbage rolls in a saucepan. Top with vegetable fry with gravy. Pour boiling water or broth over everything. The liquid should completely cover the cabbage rolls.

Simmer the cabbage rolls over low heat under a lid.

Tips.

  • For a more delicate taste of cabbage rolls, you can add sour cream or mayonnaise.
  • If you want the cabbage rolls to be more spicy, you can add chili peppers or other spices to the gravy.
