🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe

Holubtsi

Holubtsi, or stuffed cabbage rolls, are a beloved Ukrainian dish found on every holiday table and in every home kitchen. Tender blanched cabbage leaves are wrapped around a hearty filling of seasoned ground pork, rice, and sauteed vegetables, then nestled together in a deep pot and braised slowly in a tangy tomato sauce until the flavors meld into something far greater than the sum of their parts.
