cabbage roll
Wrapped meat filling
A cabbage roll is a dish of cooked cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling, typically seasoned ground meat mixed with rice or grains.
The rolls are usually baked or simmered in tomato sauce or broth.
Variations appear across Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines: My grandmother made cabbage rolls every Christmas.
