Polish-style stuffed cabbage rolls
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Polish-style cabbage rolls are made the same way as Ukrainian ones, with the only difference being that Polish cabbage rolls use only tomato sauce, while Ukrainian ones may include sour cream or a sour cream-tomato sauce. Polish cabbage rolls can also be simmered or baked in the oven. But in my opinion, the simmered version turns out more tender and juicy. This is a dish worthy of a festive table. The ready dish can be served.
