Stuffed Cabbage Rolls in Beet Leaves
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You don't need to blanch the beet leaves before cooking, as the leaves are tender and easy to wrap around the filling. If there's a tough central vein in the leaf, cut it off with a knife. Cook the stuffed rolls over the lowest heat. Monitor the amount of liquid during cooking. If the rice has absorbed all the water, add a little more boiling water to the pan. The dish is ready to serve.
