Instead of making a lot of small cabbage rolls, you can make a hearty cabbage snail. It also has juicy minced meat inside, but the technology of wrapping the filling takes half the time. Besides, it looks very aesthetically pleasing.

The idea of cooking a hearty cabbage snail with meat for lunch was published on the Instagram page of Myroslava Pekariuk (myroslava_pekariuk), a participant of the MasterChef project. The dish is low-fat because it is baked in the oven.
