Polish, German, Ukrainian and could eat cabbage rolls 4 times a week. When I was a little dude my grandma made them with potato pancakes that were freshly grated and formed into little happy cakes. I think I'll make me some this coming weekend. God bless all of you and pray for those in Ukraine.
Czech national food is "Knedlo, vepřo, zelo", which translates into "dumplings, pork, cabbage". I think most of Central EU countries might be familiar to this simple and yet so good of a recipe
Just a little tip I learned, if you freeze your heads of cabbage for a couple of weeks, that will eleminate the need to boil them. The leaves become very tender and plyable plus you are not losing any of the vitamins. Just make sure you give the cabbage enough time to thaw! Loved watching you make them!!
@@bkm2797 Actually I place them in the sink for quite a while while they drain. If you try this, please let me know what your thoughts are. I myself won't make them any other way. it saves so much time.
Thanks, so it's straight from the freezer to the sink and not the counter where it may release a good deal of moisture...good idea. It may be awhile before I give this a try, but I always appreciate learning good ideas in how yo do something better. Thank you!
This was an extremely pure video to watch. I've cooked professionally for many years, but this is something else entirely. So peaceful to cook out in the snow, bundled up with some furry friends. The cast iron cookware you are using looks amazing. As do the cabbage rolls! I am very jealous of your kitchen.
I'm not a jealous type but I do envy that homestead, views, trees, beaty, your cast iron (!) And those beautiful perfect companions. I bet the camera operator is great looking, too. Can I visit? 🫶 Love from Chicago, USA.
If you could also prey for the innocent people Ukrainians killed during the Second war in Eastern Poland. Why don’t you do some readings about Wolhyn.🥲
She should have done a time lapse of her devouring the entire pot. Delirious and distended collapsing with pets licking her in attempts to wake her or possibly just cleaning the last remaining morsels from her cheek. lol 🍻🇺🇸🌬🌾🍃🍂
Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don't run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.
My great grandmother used to make stuffed cabbage . She is from Lithuania and it is the best food I had as a kid . I keep trying to make it and am always looking for new recipes. Thank you .
Wow such a nostalgic and relaxing vid. Being Slovakian in heritage, this is a recipe that my grandpa would prepare for us I just don’t recall the amount of cream being used but otherwise almost exact recipe! Yum! She’s adorable too
Looked awesome! My Grandmother was from Slovakia, pretty similar recipe. Whenever I make them, I think I made too many. Only to find out I should have made more! Sneaking some for breakfast and some after midnight :) They go so fast!
my family is from hungary and croatia, the huns always made cabbage rolls with lots of paprika, no tomato, and layered the rolls with kraut. the croats made them very similar to this recipe except for the carrots. both used lots of garlic. both ways were very delicious.
I like when multiple cultures have the same type of food. you get to see and experience the differences that each has, making it a unique experience each time.
I'm Hungarian and I agree . Looks interesting how close areas are and foods are so different. I love cabbage rolls and I make them up a n freeze raw and get out what I need for a dinner. It's awesome because I make so much I can also give some to my dad.
Hey there Alina! This reminds me of home cooking I grew up with. I'm from the Former Yugoslavia and across the country we have a similar version of this dish. Each state and region has their own take on cabbage rolls and even each family has their own take on it. The version I grew up with was cooked with sauerkraut leaves and was more heavy on the pork (or beef or the combination of) mince. For the fancier version, cured, smoked and dried pork would be added to the pot with the cabbage rolls. Sometimes shredded sauerkraut would be spread around them too. My mum preferred to use sweet Hungarian paprika instead of tomato but I've seen some recipes that include a bit of tomato paste in the meat and rice mix. It would be served with either mashed potatoes or corn bread. Lovely to see the Slavic food being promoted. Thanks for sharing this video!
We never used tomato in ours. Just onion, carrot, celery in with rice/meat (ground pork, but could have beef mixed in. If it was for me, then caraway, but others didn't care for it, so had parsley & thyme. Layered in big pot with sauerkraut & additional chopped cabbage (the broken leaves). Water & apple juice added. Cooked till tender. Serve with mashed potatoes.
Beautiful place to live! I appreciated how you gave your pets a bit too :) Looks delicious & I’d love to learn to cook on all that beautiful cast iron -- in an outside kitchen--across from a log cabin/house-in the woods-- soooo peaceful you could almost hear angels singing praises to God!
I consider cabbage rolls a PERFECT food. Always appropriate to have, especially holidays, any season of the year. The ingredients vary,but, they are in essence the same. Thank you for your video and HUGS and KISSES and every good WISHES to fellow cabbage roll lovers. 😀❤️👍
your place looks like paradise...peace ,beauty, and the flavor of your great cuisine, love your country and your people...i wish I Could be there... reminds me of my country, but without the beautiful snow.
Totally shocked by how beautifuly this was filmed. Very atmospheric and almost ASMR-like. Not entitely sure I can replicate the recipe, but very soothing just for the process of watching. Also, love that the dog and cat ger theirs.
Love my cabbage rolls! Being a Canadian Ukrainian it’s a staple in my home. Love the way she did hers. Her home and pets are so cute, Slava Ukraina! 🙏🕯️✌️🇨🇦 🇺🇦 ♥️🙏 🌻🥖♥️🙏
I love stuffed cabbage! You're a master chef! I love that your kitty and dog enjoy your cooking! Sending prayers and love to you and your family! Stay safe
For me, I just witnessed the greatest meal ever cooked on UA-cam! I have been cooking this for 40 years and just learned some new tricks and twists. It seems every society in the World has a version of this or stuffed grape leaves. If I was on death row with one more meal to eat I would want yours!

I am always on the lookout for new and interesting recipes, and the Traditional Ukrainian stuffed cabbage rolls with the Original Holubtsi recipe caught my eye. The combination of flavorful ground meat, rice, and spices wrapped in tender cabbage leaves and then simmered in a rich tomato sauce creates a mouth-watering and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. What I love about this recipe is how it showcases the beauty of Ukrainian cuisine and the intricate techniques that go into creating such a delicious meal. It's always a great feeling to explore new cultures through food, and this recipe is the perfect way to do just that. I can't wait to give it a try and savor every bite of these delightful cabbage rolls.
Beautiful place, cabbage rolls look so good. My Mom asked if we would like cabbage rolls one time. Never having them before, her five children said, Ick! Then she made them. Were we wrong. She always made alot but they never lasted long. ♥️👍♥️
These aren't traditional recipes though. Ukrainians did not grow rice in any significant quantity until the 20th century. Rice has only been widely available in Ukraine since 1.5 generations ago. So, basically, your Grandma maybe made it with rice, but her mom probably did not.
@@VidarrKerrActually you are wrong. This is a traditional food in multiple countries in the area (Balkans, Romania and so on) not just Ukraine and is always made with rice and cabbage. In Romania we do it with sour cabbage - you can look on internet, it slightly differs from country to country.
@@XXS1337 Rice is Not a traditional ingredient in this dish, or any other dishes from Eastern Europe to the West. edit: Read what I wrote about when rice cultivation began in Ukraine. Stick to the facts.
Using that Brick Oven alone has to make anything taste way better than other cooking methods, especially stuffed cabbage, or what we call golabki (that's what my grandma was taught to call them). Best Dish in the World! Everyone cooks them a little different here & there but u can never deny how Awesome they are! 🙂❤️
Very true Julie. And they were always cooked with love and it showed in the eating. Mom also called them Golabki(cannot add the punctuation needed) but verbally pronounced Gowombki. All Eastern and Central European countries have their own versions but ALL are a delight to eat, very filling and extremely tasty.
Amazing how common cabbage rolls are across cultures. My grandmother was would make Kohlrouladen, which are very similar, and one of my favorite restaurants is Lebanese and they have their own take on it. The only major difference is different spices and no tomato sauce.
Yeah, my mother did the same. She's been gone a long time now and there are a lot of things she made that I never learned the recipe for. Kohrouladen was one them. My father and I used fight over who got the last bit of herring salad.
I grew up in Indiana and my family is only a couple generations removed from Ireland. My grandma used to make stuffed cabbage rolls all the time, she called them Pigs in a Blanket.
My hunch is you are a filmmaker..u obviously can cook but the way you shot and edited that video was beautiful. You allow us to feel the warmth of that cozy environment with your pets and slow steady careful preparation of this meal that we can almost taste right away..then?..cut to a cold wind blowing snow around the quiet countryside with ice forming on the evergreen coupled with that foggy grey countryside almost sends a chill right thru you..then?..you bring us right back into that cozy warm room filled with wonderful scents of boiled cabbage, sauteed onions and carrots and fresh garlic accented with an exquisite touch of sour cream seasoned beautifully with salt and pepper. Ahhhhh...well done. Well done indeed.
THANK YOU! The recipe alone is awsome..my slovak moms is so similar. The video production and editing only made it better. So happy to meet good people who give their best. Thank you friend.
Yes. We call them halupki. We don't use mayonnaise which looks like what this lady uses. We start with a roux, add tomato juice and tomato soup along with chicken broth, spices and a little sugar if it is too sour.
@@mariafinn1082 My mom used tomato paste, then would put water in a ketchup bottle that had just a little ketchup left and would pour it over them. She would boil them first, then bake them.
@@mariafinn1082 Yes! Tomato soup (not tomato paste) is the "key"! That and a higher rice to meat ratio. Of course, that is the way my Baba made halupki, so that is the "best" way! haha!
@@JLajos Baba! Love it. That's what we called our grandma too! And I agree - any way Baba made them was the "best". 😄 So much culture and family memories to cultivate and pass on. Enjoy your day, Lou!
This just appeared in my feed. What a fabulous recipe and a beautiful video. Holubtsi was one of my favorite dishes as a kid! My grandfather was Ukrainian and he married a 1st generation Ukrainian here in the US. My dad would make holobtsi a couple of times a month. Thanks!
This really brings back memories for me cooking outdoors in the mountains. You brought me back to a happy time and I cant wait to "TRY" and make this like you!
Yeap, but you jumped Romania who gathered them all recipes in the middle, and yet makes it like this and in 100 more ways. In Romania the cabbage used for this is usually pickled, as It gives better taste and is easier to manipulate. Larger cabbages are better since the leaves are bigger and thinner at the edge, and it is the thinner leave that is usually used.
Just made those following your recipe (our "grandma variation" is quite different, and in 90% it's not cabbage but stuffed papricas) and it's gorgeous, love it! Thank you and greetings from Czech ;-)
Alina. My heritage is Austro-Hungarian, we make our family recipe often. Our recipe and cooking technique is very similar. For the stuffing we use 1/3 cooked rice, 1/3 ground beef and 1/3 pork sausage. Then roll the leaves and simmer in a big pot. After they are cooked we put lots of sautéed butter and onions over the top. So a little simpler but very delicious! Thanks for your wonderful video and seeing your beautiful home!
Very interesting! We also have our own traditional dishes and we have one very similar to this. Its cabbage wrapped exactly the same but its steamed with the filling inside. The filling is usually pork(can sub for chicken, beef, or shrimp), minced carrots, minced wood ear mushroom, vermicelli noodles (aka clear/glass noodles), garlic, onion, egg(s), and cilantro. Our has a South East Asian influence! Its cool to see similarities between different cultures!
This is the most wonderful film Alina. Please make more clips of your wonderful cooking. So inspiring and informative. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you so much.
Yes, natural food not canned/packaged muck. When we were young we laughed when we first saw commercial dog/cat food and would not dare feed it to our beloved pets.
As a child I was horrified by "dog food." I absolutely was truly horrified people would put that disgusting, hard, stinky, dirty stuff in a dirty bowl for their dogs. My grandfather had l little tiny 'house' on the farm where every morning at 4 he would take last night's leftovers in a little pail, let me get the eggs & feed the chickens, and he would cook fresh eggs and make pancakes he called dog bread with the leftovers and cook up other odds and ends from the freezer - leftover parts after butchering a hog or beef bone marrow - in big cast iron skillets - and he fed his loyal pack the way he loved them. (And they would have given their lives for their master.) That's how I grew up with dogs (and animals in general). I feed mine the same way Pepa did. I don't feed them anything I wouldn't eat, but of course don't feed them 'everything' I 'would' eat. In that respect they eat Better than I do 🙂 They don't eat sugar or anything bad for them - Can't say that for myself 😄 Love how a Ukranian cabbage roll video can make me reflect on my grandfather 🤍 Thank you! It's like a little vacation in reverie.
@@gidget101 Well said Gidget. Fancy feeding your dog commercially made muck relying on manufacturers to be truthful with the contents. Like you we fed our pets real food that we made and ate ourselves. Of course some things we can eat cats/dogs may not be able to so they were excluded, but otherwise they ate what we ate. No canned muck or pretend food out of a box. And people do not seem to realise it is what kills their pets and gives them similar illnesses we get when we eat processed foods too much. Fresh, natural foods is what man and beast is meant to eat not this convenience muck they call food.
I just discovered your channel. The title caught my eye. Cabbage rolls! I grew up in Canada. My Mom used to make them when I was a kid. I just didn't like the cooked cabbage back then. But now? As an adult? I absolutely love cabbage rolls! I am pretty sure my Mom used to make them the way that you just did. Our community in Canada had a lot of Polish and Ukranian immigrants. Maybe that is where my Mom got the recipe. Looks like your recipe is cat and dog approved also! ;) Thanks for sharing! Looks delicious! Prayers for all of Ukraine and her people! Jim G.

Me recordo mi infancia, los rollitos de repollo...Mi madre siempre me hablo de ucrania y realmente que hermoso lugar.Y que bien hace esta chica los rollitos...
What amazing woman.. setting her site’s on a goal to give her family.. a hard worked and nutritious meal for her family.. it looks delicious.. bless you and all of yours
what a beautiful setting & the cabbage rolls look delicious to, thanks for sharing & letting us vicariously live through you...Such a beautiful setting.
I was sucked in and subscribed as soon as the kitty was peeking at the cabbages on the table, haha! What an incredibly beautiful setting, wood fire with cast iron, the help of pets-- a great cook. I love the video and appreciate the lesson. Thank you
Muito lindo o vídeo o lugar é encantador, a neve caindo, os pinheiros, as casas de madeira, esse forno a lenha, e os rolinhos de repolho que minha sogra era especialista tendo aprendido com libaneses, tem alguma diferença mas o estilo é igual e o seu certamente é delicioso. Gostei muito do silêncio, nada de música ou falação desnecessária. Parabéns.
We call that "sarma" in Bulgaria. We have 2 types - cabbage and a grape leaf ones. For the cabbage ones we usually use sour cabbage as it is widely available in the winter. For the orher type we use greap leafs and the rolls become smaller. I do not know if the fillings have some differences.
What a beautiful looking dish and such a beautifully made video!! I would love to cook in such a beautiful setting!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!!
Beautiful country! The Holubsti that you prepared looks wonderful. Even the pets got to taste a few samples! My mother made a similar version of this dish, and I loved it. Great video. Billie, from South Carolina, USA 11:04
Amazing how a simple old world dish like cabbage rolls is such a favorite. My grandmother made them when I was a kid and it was a favorite to me. So much so that It's what I always requested them on my birthday. I tend to make a tex-mex spin on them using ground beef and mexican seasoning and all the hot sauce you can handle. They are really good. Love the video, Slava Ukraine!
These cabbage rolls look delicious 😋. Thank you for sharing your recipe as i will definitely be cooking these soon..the snow falling the sound of the fire crackling and i imagine the aroma would be divine and it seems your fur babies aprove to. Beautiful country side 🇺🇦 🇦🇺💜
Polish, German, Ukrainian and could eat cabbage rolls 4 times a week. When I was a little dude my grandma made them with potato pancakes that were freshly grated and formed into little happy cakes. I think I'll make me some this coming weekend. God bless all of you and pray for those in Ukraine.

Just a little tip I learned, if you freeze your heads of cabbage for a couple of weeks, that will eleminate the need to boil them. The leaves become very tender and plyable plus you are not losing any of the vitamins. Just make sure you give the cabbage enough time to thaw! Loved watching you make them!!
Kathy, do you place it in the refrigerator or on the counter to thaw?
@@bkm2797 Actually I place them in the sink for quite a while while they drain. If you try this, please let me know what your thoughts are. I myself won't make them any other way. it saves so much time.
Thanks, so it's straight from the freezer to the sink and not the counter where it may release a good deal of moisture...good idea. It may be awhile before I give this a try, but I always appreciate learning good ideas in how yo do something better. Thank you!

Amazing how common cabbage rolls are across cultures. My grandmother was would make Kohlrouladen, which are very similar, and one of my favorite restaurants is Lebanese and they have their own take on it. The only major difference is different spices and no tomato sauce.
Yeah, my mother did the same. She's been gone a long time now and there are a lot of things she made that I never learned the recipe for. Kohrouladen was one them. My father and I used fight over who got the last bit of herring salad.
I grew up in Indiana and my family is only a couple generations removed from Ireland. My grandma used to make stuffed cabbage rolls all the time, she called them Pigs in a Blanket.
In Pre Columbian days there would have been no tomato sauce, too.
No tomatoe sauce .cook long
And at low temperature. The
Cabbage gets sweet and tender.
Here in Croatia, that dish is called Sarma. Also without tomato
Looked so good. Would love to try it. Watching from Ontario Canada 😊
Those looks terrific. I am loving your outdoor kitchen.😊
My hunch is you are a filmmaker..u obviously can cook but the way you shot and edited that video was beautiful. You allow us to feel the warmth of that cozy environment with your pets and slow steady careful preparation of this meal that we can almost taste right away..then?..cut to a cold wind blowing snow around the quiet countryside with ice forming on the evergreen coupled with that foggy grey countryside almost sends a chill right thru you..then?..you bring us right back into that cozy warm room filled with wonderful scents of boiled cabbage, sauteed onions and carrots and fresh garlic accented with an exquisite touch of sour cream seasoned beautifully with salt and pepper. Ahhhhh...well done. Well done indeed.
THANK YOU!
The recipe alone is awsome..my slovak moms is so similar.
The video production and editing only made it better. So happy to meet good people who give their best.
Thank you friend.
Uma delícia e fácil de fazer. Aqui no Brasil fazemos comidas de todos os lugares do planeta.
Amei a sua receita.
Wow.. Looks blimming delicious!! Greetings from London 🇬🇧🇺🇦💙💛

My mom was from Slovakia, I grew up with her making a variation of these. They look wonderful.
Yes. We call them halupki. We don't use mayonnaise which looks like what this lady uses. We start with a roux, add tomato juice and tomato soup along with chicken broth, spices and a little sugar if it is too sour.
@@mariafinn1082 My mom used tomato paste, then would put water in a ketchup bottle that had just a little ketchup left and would pour it over them. She would boil them first, then bake them.
@@danielserene4532 Boil then bake. Never thought of that. Sounds delicious.
@@mariafinn1082 Yes! Tomato soup (not tomato paste) is the "key"! That and a higher rice to meat ratio. Of course, that is the way my Baba made halupki, so that is the "best" way! haha!
@@JLajos Baba! Love it. That's what we called our grandma too! And I agree - any way Baba made them was the "best". 😄 So much culture and family memories to cultivate and pass on. Enjoy your day, Lou!
I love the peaceful environment and interaction with the animals.
And the food, just making me hungry already with your hostess ,stylish Alina
This just appeared in my feed. What a fabulous recipe and a beautiful video. Holubtsi was one of my favorite dishes as a kid! My grandfather was Ukrainian and he married a 1st generation Ukrainian here in the US. My dad would make holobtsi a couple of times a month. Thanks!
This really brings back memories for me cooking outdoors in the mountains. You brought me back to a happy time and I cant wait to "TRY" and make this like you!
Your animals are adorable. Praying for Ukraine.
Did you vote for biden because if you did you voted for this

0:46 The kitties lil head popping up for a peak at the cabbage 🤣🤣💜💜 Kitty stole the show 😁 Those cabbage rolls look delicious!!
looks so yummy!!! I love the idea of cooking outside on a snowy day. LOVE how you shared with your little dog and cat as they looked on
healthy and delicious cabbage.
Thank you for the great recipe❤
It looks delicious😍🙏🌹
its amazing how every Slavic country has their own version of this
Máš na mysli tureckou sarmu ? Plněné hroznové listy ? Mňam
Yeap, but you jumped Romania who gathered them all recipes in the middle, and yet makes it like this and in 100 more ways. In Romania the cabbage used for this is usually pickled, as It gives better taste and is easier to manipulate. Larger cabbages are better since the leaves are bigger and thinner at the edge, and it is the thinner leave that is usually used.
True. Very similar yet different. Try Slovak holubky. (The best but don't say nobody).
Just made those following your recipe (our "grandma variation" is quite different, and in 90% it's not cabbage but stuffed papricas) and it's gorgeous, love it! Thank you and greetings from Czech ;-)
Thank you for not talking or using music. Everything about this video was beautiful!
Alina. My heritage is Austro-Hungarian, we make our family recipe often. Our recipe and cooking technique is very similar. For the stuffing we use 1/3 cooked rice, 1/3 ground beef and 1/3 pork sausage. Then roll the leaves and simmer in a big pot. After they are cooked we put lots of sautéed butter and onions over the top. So a little simpler but very delicious!
Thanks for your wonderful video and seeing your beautiful home!
I love making cabbage rolls. Your recipe looks delicious 😋 I will try it. Thank you for sharing 😀
Very interesting! We also have our own traditional dishes and we have one very similar to this. Its cabbage wrapped exactly the same but its steamed with the filling inside. The filling is usually pork(can sub for chicken, beef, or shrimp), minced carrots, minced wood ear mushroom, vermicelli noodles (aka clear/glass noodles), garlic, onion, egg(s), and cilantro. Our has a South East Asian influence! Its cool to see similarities between different cultures!
I love outdoor kitchens!
Beautiful home, just too cold for me. Thank you for your recipe and how to prepare it. Thank you!
This is the most wonderful film Alina. Please make more clips of your wonderful cooking. So inspiring and informative. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you so much.
Love how she feeds her animals 😊
Yes, natural food not canned/packaged muck. When we were young we laughed when we first saw commercial dog/cat food and would not dare feed it to our beloved pets.
As a child I was horrified by "dog food." I absolutely was truly horrified people would put that disgusting, hard, stinky, dirty stuff in a dirty bowl for their dogs. My grandfather had l little tiny 'house' on the farm where every morning at 4 he would take last night's leftovers in a little pail, let me get the eggs & feed the chickens, and he would cook fresh eggs and make pancakes he called dog bread with the leftovers and cook up other odds and ends from the freezer - leftover parts after butchering a hog or beef bone marrow - in big cast iron skillets - and he fed his loyal pack the way he loved them. (And they would have given their lives for their master.) That's how I grew up with dogs (and animals in general). I feed mine the same way Pepa did. I don't feed them anything I wouldn't eat, but of course don't feed them 'everything' I 'would' eat. In that respect they eat Better than I do 🙂 They don't eat sugar or anything bad for them - Can't say that for myself 😄
Love how a Ukranian cabbage roll video can make me reflect on my grandfather 🤍 Thank you! It's like a little vacation in reverie.
@@gidget101 Well said Gidget. Fancy feeding your dog commercially made muck relying on manufacturers to be truthful with the contents. Like you we fed our pets real food that we made and ate ourselves.
Of course some things we can eat cats/dogs may not be able to so they were excluded, but otherwise they ate what we ate. No canned muck or pretend food out of a box.
And people do not seem to realise it is what kills their pets and gives them similar illnesses we get when we eat processed foods too much.
Fresh, natural foods is what man and beast is meant to eat not this convenience muck they call food.
Smacznego, uwielbiam golabki😋❤👍milutko pozdrawiam
Cabbage rolls are always made with such love ❤️
Sarma je to...kakav bre Cabbage roll...kakvi bakraci :))
I just discovered your channel. The title caught my eye. Cabbage rolls! I grew up in Canada. My Mom used to make them when I was a kid. I just didn't like the cooked cabbage back then. But now? As an adult? I absolutely love cabbage rolls! I am pretty sure my Mom used to make them the way that you just did. Our community in Canada had a lot of Polish and Ukranian immigrants. Maybe that is where my Mom got the recipe. Looks like your recipe is cat and dog approved also! ;) Thanks for sharing! Looks delicious! Prayers for all of Ukraine and her people! Jim G.

Beautifully presented, in all aspects. Thank you.

My grandmother taught my mother how to make cabbage rolls, she was from E. Europe.....love them
I was sucked in and subscribed as soon as the kitty was peeking at the cabbages on the table, haha! What an incredibly beautiful setting, wood fire with cast iron, the help of pets-- a great cook. I love the video and appreciate the lesson. Thank you
Muito lindo o vídeo o lugar é encantador, a neve caindo, os pinheiros, as casas de madeira, esse forno a lenha, e os rolinhos de repolho que minha sogra era especialista tendo aprendido com libaneses, tem alguma diferença mas o estilo é igual e o seu certamente é delicioso. Gostei muito do silêncio, nada de música ou falação desnecessária. Parabéns.
We call that "sarma" in Bulgaria. We have 2 types - cabbage and a grape leaf ones. For the cabbage ones we usually use sour cabbage as it is widely available in the winter. For the orher type we use greap leafs and the rolls become smaller. I do not know if the fillings have some differences.
Exactly the same in Romania.Even the word is also "sarma".
It’s Turkish word wrapping it’s Sarma for cabbage rolls we called “ Lahana Sarmasi”
In certain parts of Hungary it's called "szarma" as well.
I want to say that I was so lucky to try it!!! And I want to say that taste was sooooo delicious 🤤 thank you so much ❤
Looks like heaven to me…..
Fabulous recipe, thank you.
What a beautiful looking dish and such a beautifully made video!! I would love to cook in such a beautiful setting!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!!
Beautiful country! The Holubsti that you prepared looks wonderful. Even the pets got to taste a few samples! My mother made a similar version of this dish, and I loved it. Great video. Billie, from South Carolina, USA 11:04
Bravo ,Fata frumoasa si harnica .Minunat ai pregatit sarmale. Sa le maninci cu ochii. Nota 20 .❤😊👍😘
To je predivna sarma.👍 pozdrav 🙋🌹
Sarma je s kiselim kupusom!
Pozdrav 😂
Amazing how a simple old world dish like cabbage rolls is such a favorite. My grandmother made them when I was a kid and it was a favorite to me. So much so that It's what I always requested them on my birthday. I tend to make a tex-mex spin on them using ground beef and mexican seasoning and all the hot sauce you can handle. They are really good. Love the video, Slava Ukraine!
These cabbage rolls look delicious 😋. Thank you for sharing your recipe as i will definitely be cooking these soon..the snow falling the sound of the fire crackling and i imagine the aroma would be divine and it seems your fur babies aprove to. Beautiful country side 🇺🇦 🇦🇺💜
You know I was just hovering over to view this and then I saw how much care you took to make this and I just had to comment with one word “awesome”
