Savoy cabbage rolls are an absolute classic of home cooking and proof that simple ingredients combined can create a true taste experience. This dish combines tender savoy cabbage with a hearty minced meat filling and a spicy sauce that fills the entire house with its irresistible aroma.
While preparing the rolls takes some time, it’s not rocket science. The crisp savoy cabbage is first blanched to make it supple and then stuffed with a sophisticated blend of minced meat, onions, soaked bread, and spices. Spices such as nutmeg and paprika, in particular, give the rolls an aromatic depth that perfectly rounds out the flavor.
Oven-roasting ensures that the savoy cabbage rolls remain slightly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The broth, added later, forms a delicious base for a sauce that goes
ideally with mashed potatoes—the perfect accompaniment to this traditional dish.
Savoy cabbage rolls are not only a feast for the family, but also a wonderful dish to impress guests. With their combination of rustic charm and distinctive flavor, they conjure up a cozy atmosphere and make every meal special.
This recipe is designed for 4 servings, but can easily be adapted for more people at the table. Serve the rolls with homemade mashed potatoes or crusty bread and enjoy the compliments on this delightful, traditional dish!
