"This was from a magazine, and even the kids will eat it, cabbage and all. It's so filling, and needs no sides along with it. The hardest part of this dish, is trying to pry the cabbage leaves away without tearing, so I try to hold each separated leaf under warm running water, whilst gently prying it away. If you tear some, just fold over, or use 2 leaves inside one another to cover tear."
