Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up. You know what that means, right? FOOD! Lots of them! 🙂 Many people can’t wait for these seasons to come, but there are also some who are afraid. Why? Because they might get derailed from their weight loss program. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything is just so delightful that the foods that are usually served during these occasions are hard to resist. It’s only after you’ve eaten already that you’d feel guilty.

However, if you carefully pick the types of food that you are going to make and serve during the holidays, there is nothing that you should worry about. As long as they are healthy and not filled with fats and other things that can harm you, you should be alright. Well, for your main course, consider making Polish Stuffed Cabbage Rolls.

Cabbage is often overlooked. But did you know that it comes with a very impressive nutritional profile? It’s loaded with nutrients like iron, vitamin A, and riboflavin. It is also high in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C. You can add this lettuce-looking vegetable to your diet, especially if you are trying to lose weight.

Now, for today’s main course, let’s see how delicious cabbage rolls are made.

Instructions

1. Boil cabbage leaves until soft (about 2 minutes). Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Cook rice following the directions indicated on the packaging, but undercook it for 5 minutes. Set aside.

How to Remove Leaves from the Head of Cabbage

Cut the bottom of the head before putting it in boiling water. Let it boil for a couple of minutes and then start peeling off the softened leaves. Put the head back to the boiling water and repeat until all of the leaves are peeled off.

As much as possible, pick a cabbage with huge leaves. But in case you end up with smaller leaves, just overlap them.
