During the pandemic time I try to enjoy everything what reminds me of the world before this nightmare, the one which we cannot wake up from at the moment. This normality means to me memories related to my carefree childhood, beautiful scents spreading throughout the house, making my mouth water. One of my favorite dishes at that time was stuffed cabbage and this is the recipe which I’d like to share with you today. It’s very easy and it’s always a great success!
Ingredients:
- 1 big cabbage head (white or savoy cabbage)
Stuffing:
- 1,5 kg of minced meat
- 2 packets of rice (200 g)
- 2 packets of pearl barley (200 g)
- bouillon cube or stock
- 2-3 onions
- salt
- pepper
Preparation:
Boil rice and pearl barley in salted boiling water. Chop the onions, fry them shortly on the well-warmed fat. Mix the minced meat with rice, pearl barley, onion and pepper. Add salt to taste.
Cut the stump out of the cabbage and boil the whole cabbage head in boiling hot water on low heat. Take off the outer leaves one after another (when they get soft enough). Fill each leaf with the meat stuffing.
Put the cabbage leaves on the bottom of a big pot, so that the stuffed cabbage doesn’t stick to it. Put stuffed cabbage one on top of another, pour everything with the earlier prepared stock. Put some cabbage leaves on the top, so that water doesn’t boil too much over while boiling. Next, boil the stuffed cabbage for around an hour, until it gets soft.
You can serve stuffed cabbage with the sauce you like, for example the dill sauce. Bon Appetit!
See you around!

Very interesting. I've never had cabbage before but I would be willing to try it. Thanks for the great info!
I've actually never had stuffed cabbage before. I will have to try it out and see if I like it!
Thanks for sharing it....it seems quite interesting.....
Yummy, I like this recipe, all the ingredients in it are so delicious, will try this.
This looks amazing. I've always loved stuffed cabbage but don't do carbs. I'll have to try this one minus the rice/barley. I'm sure it is just as good!
This looks like a delicious light meal for the summer. My mom did used to make a similar dish but without the dill sauce, I can imagine that would be the perfect combination. Yum!
This sounds delicious. I need to make this recipe. Such a great way to use cabbage.
I used to make these years ago! They are awesome. As my family got larger, I didn't feel like standing there rolling them anymore, lol. But we are smaller now, so maybe I can make them again.
If i can find a way to make this gluten free i will for sure try this as it looks so amazing and fresh! I love trying new things and this for sure is one of the new things i want to try. great post
My Mom used to make stuffed cabbage but it had completely different ingredients. I would love to give yours a try. Looks like wonderful comfort food for these turbulent times.
I miss this! I really need sort of a mini-kitchen in my place. I have a small space, so I'll see what I can do.
That sounds so yummy! Stuffed cabbage seems like something my family would enjoy. Maybe i'll give it a try this week!
My mom used to make stuffed cabbage but I can't remember if I like it or not!
This sounds scrumptious. I am not the cook in our house hold but I shared this with my husband and he is going to try it out this weekend.
Wow this looks good. I haven't had stuffed cabbage in quite some time but I need to try some again soon!
I love the recipe. The photos tell me that this is delicious!
The national dish of my country is very similar to this. Instead of using the cabbage as it is, we pickle it. I miss this dish since I've moved away, and I can never make it myself because an entire pickled cabbage is so hard to find abroad.
It was perfect the first time. I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post. https://www.gmdrecipes.com/
Not a huge fan of cabbage but maybe I'll try this.
I love your stuffed cabbage recipe! I know it's going to taste so delicious. Thanks for sharing
This looks so yummy! I think i'll save this recipe for later!
I love eating cabbage! They are 90% water and it is very healthy. This recipe is so easy to make I'll follow this :)
My mum used to make this. Exact recipe. I never tried it though.
Looks delicious! I haven't had it in ages but my grandmother used to make it when I was little. Must be real good!
you just reminded me of a kitchen pursuit long overdue!!!! gotta make this this coming weekend!!!
