Cabbage leaves

Cabbage leaves are the outer or inner leaves of white, red, or savoy cabbage, widely used in cooking as a natural wrap for stuffed dishes. The most popular preparation involves filling them with minced meat, rice, and spices to make stuffed cabbage rolls. Before use, it is recommended to briefly blanch the leaves so they soften and become easier to roll. The flavour is mildly sweet and slightly earthy, becoming more delicate after cooking. They are also great in soups, baked casseroles, or as the base for savoury rolls with a variety of fillings.
