Appetizing minced meat wrapped in juicy cabbage leaf is one of the most colorful dishes of Ukrainian national cuisine. Thanks to fragrant spices, vegetable dressing, and spicy sour cream with tomato sauce, the taste of stuffed cabbage is bright and tangy, and the color is lovely.
Pork is best for making classic stuffed cabbage. Combined with fried vegetables and rice, the filling is nutritious and moderately juicy. If you choose beef or chicken, add a little oil to the stuffing so that the meat inside the packing does not dry out.
The choice of cabbage also requires special attention - if you press the new head a little softly, the leaves will come off easier.
To prevent the minced meat from falling apart during cooking, fry them in a pan. Then place them tightly on the pot with the seams facing down. The bottom of the stew container is pre-lined with a few cabbage leaves.

Cabbage contains practically no starch and sugars. It fills the stomach, relieving hunger while having a low-calorie content.
