Patty Saveurs

 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. 

Recipe :

• Mince and then dice the chicken breast
• In a bowl : combine chicken, minced meat, chopped onion, grated carrots, chopped mushrooms, egg, cornstarch, basil; salt, pepper, paprika according to your tastes
• Remove the stem of cabbage leaves, blanch quickly
• Fill each cabbage leaf with a dollop of minced meat
• Cover the bottom of a pan with tomato sauce
• Arrange the stuffed cabbage leaves
• Mince the core of cabbage and sprinkle in the pan
• Melt the stock into 1 glass of hot water and pour in the pan
• Put a lid on pan and simmer for about an hour, turn the stuffed cabbage halfway
• Do not let dry and add as many glasses of water as needed, check if additional salt and pepper is needed

Enjoy !
