Homemade cabbage rolls in a new way: what to add for an unusual filling

Stuffed cabbage is a delicious, hearty, and easy-to-prepare dish even for those who have never cooked it before. If you don't like rice, you can replace it with other cereals, such as bulgur, and add turkey or chicken instead of minced pork.
