Tried this method of preparing cabbage leaves and I am going to use it from now on for making cabbage rolls. Your method is so much easier. -
What a hoot! This is so much easier than my usual struggles. I think I'll make stuffed cabbage much more often now. Thanks for this tip! -
I didn't have a big fork or one I thought would withstand hammering so I used an ice pick. Walah! -
I should have read directions on taking meaves off first. I did the hardest way ever. Didnt hammer through the core. Made it and jt better tutn out good. Seasoning is MUAH. Cabbage leaves kept tearjng the way I prepared. Man am I tired. I will try again but no time soon. I'll know what to next time. YEY. I am a FANTASTIC cook otherwise. -
OMG how do I thank you! Could not figure out how to get them off the core, this worked like a charm! I had already de-cored but a tongs and big spoon worked too, they just kind of slide off with this method -THANK YOU!

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas!
Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments.
My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL!
