I no longer make cabbage rolls without a screwdriver. Men's life hack
Most men love cabbage rolls very much, but they are unlikely to cook them for themselves, considering it a complicated dish. In this article I have given you two great life hacks that will make preparing cabbage rolls as simple as possible.
The first and craziest life hack - this is the use of a screwdriver with a wood crown. I really love cabbage rolls and cook them often, but cutting the stalk from fresh cabbage with a knife is very problematic. I also often accidentally cut most of the leaves when the knife slipped. Now I use a wood saw with a pilot drill and in 1 second I separate the leaves from the stalk. Very comfortably!A quick way to cook cabbage rolls “man-style”
We wash the crown first. Its diameter can be 50-70 mm, if you want to repeat this.
Cut the stalk of a head of cabbage at the level of the leaves with a regular sharp knife.
We install the crown with a centering drill in the screwdriver and drill the stump to the depth of the crown.
Next, everything is as usual in preparing cabbage rolls. Everyone can use their own recipe. And I'll show you mine.
Place the cabbage in boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes. Next, let it cool a little.
And here is the result of my life hack: the leaves are very convenient to remove. They are completely whole, not cut.
Second life hack: I don’t pre-boil the rice, but add the hard rice directly to the minced meat. Of course, for a long time I did what everyone else did and boiled it, but then I realized that this was a waste of time and I could completely do without it.I add various seasonings, rice, several tomato sauces to the minced meat, one of which must be spicy - I like it that way.
Mix everything and wrap it in cabbage leaves.
I cook cabbage rolls in the oven. To do this, I place them on a baking sheet and pour tomato sauce made from tomato paste, water and salt and pepper.
I cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and tuck the edges.
Next I put it in the oven for 2-2.5 hours.
The taste is amazing!
Who will now say that it is difficult and dreary? I think it's even fun, especially the first time. Bon appetit! Bye everyone!
