Recipe – cabbage rolls

Stuffed cabbage rolls are one of the most popular and delicious dishes of Russian cuisine. They are cabbage rolls stuffed with minced meat and rice. Preparing cabbage rolls is quite simple, and the result is always incredibly tasty.

To make cabbage rolls you will need the following ingredients:
