Baked Cabbage Rolls in the Oven

Baked Cabbage Rolls in the Oven

• In addition to the usual Serbian sarma, sometimes I want to make this dish in an Asian way, with slightly different ingredients compared to our Serbian sarma. You can make them from cabbage or kale, both of which are very tasty and juicy, and also healthy. I always prepare them in my own way, the ingredients are not original, but regardless, they are adapted to my taste. Follow recipe.
