Vegetarian Option : Replace the ground beef with crumbled tofu, cooked lentils, or quinoa for a plant-based twist.
Spicy Kick : Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the filling or sauce for extra heat.
Cheesy Delight : Top the finished rolls with shredded mozzarella or provolone before serving for a gooey finish.
Herby Flavor : Stir in chopped fresh parsley, basil, or rosemary for an aromatic boost.
Tips for Success
To ensure your Italian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
Blanch the Cabbage Properly : Softening the leaves ensures they won’t tear when rolling.
Don’t Overfill the Leaves : Leave enough room to fold and seal the rolls securely.
Simmer Slowly : Low and slow cooking allows the flavors to develop and the cabbage to become tender.
Store Leftovers Wisely : Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
