While these homemade stuffed cabbages is already incredibly filling, if you’re looking to add some extra heft to your meal with garnishes or sides, any of the following options are great choices.
Sauerkraut (and to be frank (although it’s not conventional), I also adore it with kimchi).
Sour cream
Homemade bread
Mashed potatoes
Skillet potatoes
Simple side salad
A dash of vinegar (I personally enjoy the slight tang it adds to my cabbage rolls). The subtle sharpness really complements the dish!
CAN YOU FREEZE AUTHENTIC CABBAGE ROLL RECIPE?
Certainly, the authentic cabbage roll recipe can be frozen. After assembling the rolls and covering them with tomato sauce, place the dish in the freezer while covered with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. As for freezing, you can freeze it for up to two months. When you are ready to bake, remove the dish from the freezer, discard the plastic wrap, and bake at 375°F without thawing. The meat filling may take longer to cook and become tender, but it will warm up nicely even when frozen.
HOW TO REHEAT CABBAGE ROLLS?
To reheat cabbage rolls, you can put them in a pan along with some tomato sauce and a small amount of water. Cook over medium heat while covered for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are thoroughly heated.
One can reheat cabbage rolls by placing them in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, as an alternative method. To do so, place the rolls in a baking dish with a bit of tomato sauce and a splash of water. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, leaving some space, and bake for around 30 to 40 minutes until the cabbage rolls are thoroughly heated.
CAN YOU STORE OLD FASHIONED STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS?
If there is any leftover food, you should transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it, which will help it stay fresh for approximately four days. When reheating, you can use a microwave, but for better results, it’s recommended to preheat an oven to 350 degrees and reheat for about 5 minutes.
