stuffed cabbage
Meat-filled leaf rolls
Stuffed cabbage is a dish consisting of cooked cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling, typically of ground meat, rice, and seasonings, then simmered in a tomato-based sauce.
Variations appear across Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines, with fillings and sauces differing by tradition.
The dish is comfort food in many cultures, often associated with home cooking and family meals.
My grandmother's stuffed cabbage was the centerpiece of every holiday dinner.
