Description
"These traditional stuffed cabbage rolls will conjure up childhood memories of your grandmother's kitchen. The rolls are bathed in a savory-sweet tomato sauce while they bake in the oven. The sauce is thickened at the end to the perfect consistency, then poured over the rolls to make this the ultimate comfort food." —Diana Andrews
