Peasant dumplings
Description
Peasant-style dumplings can be prepared for both everyday meals and any festive occasion. Thanks to the cabbage in the filling, the dumplings turn out tender and juicier. You can make a batch in advance and store them in the freezer until needed. This will not only save time when preparing dinner later, but also allow you to quickly set a delicious table for unexpected guests.
