Cabbage rolls with cottage cheese
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. These cabbage rolls turn out tender, and the unusual filling enhances their amazing flavor. The rice with cottage cheese and herbs pairs perfectly with Savoy cabbage leaves, and the dish can confidently be served even at a festive table. Before you start filling, carefully prepare the leaves: either scald them with boiling water or boil for about 2 minutes—this depends on the "age" of the cabbage. The ready dish can now be served.
