Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage is one of the most underrated ingredients. You can bake it, fry it, or eat it raw, and somehow it always manages to taste so good. Now I definitely cannot take credit for this recipe. This is a specialty that my roommate makes for us and is always one of my favorites.

We found this beautiful cabbage from the garden at the Flamingo Estate here in Los Angeles. We love to get their fresh greens box which comes with a ton of fresh greens.
