Recipe
As soon as you see young cabbage on the grocery store shelves, be sure to get a couple of heads. This time, we are not going to braise them, though. Instead, we will prepare delicious cabbage rolls. The delicate leaves work perfectly for this recipe — stuffed cabbage rolls turn out juicy and melt-in-your-mouth soft.
To make these cabbage rolls even tastier, we added some zucchini and tomato to the minced meat. The cushion of carrots prevents stuffed cabbage rolls from burning, and the tomato juice in which they stew adds a bit of sourness. We limited ourselves to using only salt and pepper, but you can always add spices to taste.

Be sure to cook these phenomenal stuffed cabbage rolls while the cabbage is young and tender. They are so juicy you'll eat them in a couple of bites. Don't forget to place sour cream or your favorite sauce on the table. The fragrant cabbage rolls disappear from the plate almost instantly. Even Copperfield would be impressed!
