How Should Cabbage Be Softened For Cabbage Wraps?

You can do it one of three ways: blanch the leaves only, as the recipe suggests, and you could…

• Boil the entire head of Cabbage. This is very typical and simple to follow.
• Cabbage can be steamed. This method is similar to the boiling method, except that the cabbage is placed in a steamer over boiling water rather than in the boiling water. When the outer leaves soften, peel them away one at a time.
• Cabbage should be refrigerated. This method necessitates some forethought, but the idea is that a frozen and defrosted cabbage will soften without a need for cooking. Freeze your cabbage head a day or two ahead of time, then thaw it before making cabbage wraps.

 

Easy Suggestions and Variations

Macedonian Cabbage Wraps are a festive, simple, and stuffing dish that comes in a variety of flavors! Here are my suggestions and simple adjustments for making your Macedonian cabbage wraps. Explore!

• Add more veggie ingredients. This recipe would benefit from finely chopped mushrooms, zucchini, or eggplant.
• You can add smoke, or simply substitute smoked paprika for some of the sweet paprika, and use vegetable broth instead of water for depth.

 

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

• Refrigerate leftover cabbage rolls and sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Leftover cabbage wraps will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
• To reheat, place the desired portion in an ovenproof dish and bake for about 15 minutes, or until heated through, at 350°F. You can also reheat your cabbage wraps in the microwave.

 

Can I Store These Cabbage Wraps In The Fridge?

• Yes, these can be frozen! They freeze so well that you might want to make a double batch and freeze half for another meal.
• To freeze, place the desired amount in freezer bags and press out as much air as possible before sealing. You can freeze all of the cabbage rolls at once or in serving portions. They can be stored for up to three months.
• Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
