Italian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls #2
Stuffed
Like many dishes, Italian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls can be made in a variety of different ways. I grew up loving love my Mom's Cabbage Rolls, but this recipe is a nice alternative. Since I enjoy trying different varieties of food, I though it was time to try to put together an Italian version.
What makes this recipe tasty and delicious are the combination of well seasoned ground beef, veal and pork. I usually use just ground beef when I make cabbage roll, but by using three different meats you will take this recipe takes to the next level of flavor. In my Mom's recipe regular green cabbage to create this dish but for the Italian I use Savoy cabbage which is sweeter and milder in flavor than green cabbage.
The sauce for the Italian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls is plain and simple. The combination of tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth cooked with the seasoned cabbage rolls createds a create a light flavorful sauce. Enjoy!
