Description
The Russian name of the cabbage rolls, Golubtsi, probably comes from the word pigeon. The cooked rolls look a bit like sitting pigeons when the cabbage leaf has turned completely soft. According to the law of gravity, cabbage rolls tend to spread out when the leaves have lost their firm grip.
Cabbage rolls are a favorite dish around the world. The filling of Russian cabbage rolls is made from minced meat and rice. This makes it fluffy and easy to digest. We take ground beef for our recipe. However, it is also possible to use pork. With minced chicken, the cabbage rolls are particularly low in calories. Vegetarians can replace meat with vegetables such as mushrooms or broccoli. It is possible to freeze cooked cabbage rolls as single pieces and then store them frozen in a container.
