flavorful cabbage rolls
(1 rating)
I had been searching for a good cabbage roll recipe. Unfortunately I couldn't find one with much flavor, most are so bland. I came up with this recipe and it is very flavorful, filling and always a crowd pleaser. Don't let the cinnamon throw you off, it enhances the flavors wonderfully.
