Many people like cabbage rolls because of their wonderful aroma, balance and excellent taste..
The combination of meat, cabbage and rice can rightfully be considered a win-win..
However, sometimes cabbage rolls can unpleasantly surprise you by turning out dry, notes our magazine’s culinary expert, chef Yulia Arkhipova.
How to make cabbage rolls juicier and tastier
Butter
This product will make even dry meat more juicy, soft and tasty. Chefs agree that it is wiser to hide a small cube of butter in each cabbage roll.
In this case, the dish will be as tender, tasty and juicy as possible.
Lard
Everyone has their own preferences regarding what kind of meat to make the stuffing for cabbage rolls from. If it is not pork, then it is worth grinding a small piece of fresh lard along with the minced meat.
Fig
Many people try to make more cabbage rolls, saving on the filling. You shouldn’t do that. If you add a lot of rice, the cabbage rolls will come out extremely dry and far from ideal.
