Stuffed cabbage … Basically, meatballs into a cabbage leaf! I love meatballs, don’t you ? Such a versatile dish; My recipe will always vary according to the vegetables and herbs I’ve got in my fridge : with pepper and sprouts, I will make Asian style meatballs, with zucchinis and tomatoes, I will make Italian style meatballs and so on.
I always add grated carrots, chopped onions and mushrooms to my meatballs since either or several of them are a basis in many of my recipes and so are tomatoes, so I try to never run out of any of them.
Of course, there is a wide range of vegetables that you could use instead of cabbage, like peppers, tomatoes, zucchinis, etc.
Fillet of hake with an olive crust, a delicious mediterranean way of serving fish.
Hake is particularly appreciated in my family: it is a white fish with a firm and meaty flesh, not fat, not oily and its flavor is delicate. Hake can be cooked in an infinity of ways, from sweet and sour, curry sauces, with tomato sauce, etc.
I find that hake is very similar to cod, but more refined. For example, if I were to cook fish balls, I would do them with cod not hake. Another advantage is that hake tends to be cheaper than cod.
