Homemade Hearty Cabbage Rolls Recipe [View all]

[Saviolo]

Here's another one of those recipes where there are a million variations depending on where the recipe comes from, where it moved to, and who's house you're visiting! Cabbage rolls are a very regional thing and can be radically different between regions. Recipes from Hungary will differ greatly from recipes out of Croatia, for instance. This recipe is adapted from several regional recipes sort of smashed together into something tasty, and feel free to experiment!

This recipe is a bit of a multi-threaded process. You have a few things going on at the same time that you need to track. Making the filling, making the sauce, roasting the garlic, blanching the cabbage leaves, etc... so just make sure that your cooking temperatures are correct and you're keeping an eye on everything and giving it an occasional stir to make sure nothing's sticking or burning. Also, the spice mix can definitely be switched up if you want to add some warm spice to the filling like nutmeg or cinnamon, and you can also add a little dash of cayenne or even Tabasco to the sauce if you want to give it a little zing.
