EXECUTION
- cut into the cabbage and cook in salted water with bay leaf, herb, salt and vinegar to soften the leaves - it is approx. 30 min. from flooding the cabbage in boiling water
cook rice - just approx. 15 min
- grind the meat, if we do not have ground
- Finely chop the onions and fry in a teaspoon of butter
- Mix together the rice, raw meat, eggs and fried onions. Stuffing season with salt, pepper and marjoram and mix well again
- cabbage filtered from the water and take it in turn leaves. On each leaf cut from the top end of the hard stems, so that it is thick leaf - this will be more flexible and will not prevent curling
- each leaf applied approx. 2 tablespoons of stuffing - this portion you should get 15 to 18 pigeons, depending on how large cabbage leaves we have available and how much stuffing them get round. Roll up as follows: stuffing to put in place the stems, gently roll up, then fold into the right and left side of the leaf, and now, just closed on the sides of the dove, wrap to the very end. At the top we should have a soft tip of the leaf, which is pretty close to us all. Roll up firmly and closely
- at the bottom of a large pot (capacity of 4 to 5 L) over several cabbage leaves. They may be raw leaves peeled from the top (you have to wash them well!) Or unused small leaves of cabbage inside. The point is that pigeons do not adhere to the bottom of the pot
- then as closely as possible in layers doves. They must be tightly arranged, under the effect of the broth did not develop
- pour broth cabbage, but only to cover no more
