This is one of those recipes you just can’t make once. That’s to say, after the first time, you’re hooked. I can’t say that this is exactly easy to make: but it is rather time-consuming than difficult. I adore pottering about the kitchen making it. I adore pottering about the kitchen full stop. It’s my place of happiness….
A classic recipe for kohlrouladen is the quintessential German comfort food that’s a complete and hearty dinner on its own. My lovely German mother-in-law taught me how to cook it… but I never quite got it to taste as good as hers.
I make this even if there isn’t a whole tableful of people to eat it; I freeze leftovers in individual portions, to make for most superior ready-meals at a later date.
Savoy cabbage parcels are one of the most delicious ways to cook this type of cabbage.
