Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/229450/Lamb-and-Rice-Stuffed-Cabbage-Rolls/

An easier way to wilt the cabbage is to wrap it in double plastic wrap, put it in the freezer, freeze it solid and then thawed out in the fridge. When you unwrap it the leaves will naturally wilt. You'll still want to score the vein in the back but it saves you from all the cooking and stinking the house up of cabbage. You also avoid the risk of under or over cooking the cabbage. And also recommend when you make this dish instead of putting cabbage leaves on the bottom, put in a rack of lamb bones. It will Elevate the cabbage rolls and the lamb bones will further flavor the dish.

YES. Learned the frozen cabbage trick from Julia Child who learned it from a polish lady I think. Many people prefer a large savoy cabbage for rolls. My lithuanian SIL does, but buys regular cabbage because it's cheaper.

Wrap it in double plastic wrap after you cut it? Then put it in the freezer. When you are ready too cook take it out the freezer?

I love stuffed cabbage rolls with ANY meat that is on sale, but my favorite meat is lamb or a pork and beef mix. Anyway, I wanted to say that I put my cabbage in the freezer overnight, then take it out when I get up the next morning. When it thaws, the leaves just peel away easily. Love your recipe. Will give it a try! Thank you.

These are the comments that make YT great! Awesomeness!

Tried this for dinner tonight, first time I’ve done cabbage rolls on my own. Loved the flavor with the cinnamon and currents and the crunch of the shaved almonds. I did it with ground beef because I wasn’t sure of my skills and didn’t want to sacrifice my lamb. Amazing recipe, wife was impressed and I have a new go to for my list of favorite Chef John’s!;)

I'm a simple man. If I see freakishly small wooden spoon, I upvote.

With all those crunchy almonds, no one will be able to tell that my rice is under-cooked! :D Fabulous!

Chef John, I want you to know that I watch your videos whenever I feel blue, and your voice and honesty and passion, and wamth never fail to cheer me up. Thank you, and keep cooking.

This dish looks delicious! My grandmother, mother and aunt always made stuffed cabbage. It's one of my all-time favorites, this recipe looks spot-on!

I love chef John, he is my favorite chef. His voice relaxes me and I love his jokes. I wish he had his own show. And yes this looks yummy I will have to try it.

Just made this and my family loved it thanks for the recipe !

WOW that looks so good! The cabbage on the bottom is a Polish and French trick to stop the rolls from sticking. This recipe is fantastic; Thanks

This looks soooo incredible!!!! "Ewe" did a great job mate - keep up the awesome recipes and don't forget the puns.

OMG! My aunt used to make these for me when I was little but she used beef instead. Can't wait to try them with lamb...all I have to say is YUM!!! Thanks for another great meal!

everytime I watch this guy he gets me hungry, tried quite a few of his recipes too. great. keep it up Chef :)

What a great idea❤️I'm Serbian and love both lamb and cabbage rolls

Everybody loved this recipe!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

This dish sounds amazing! Yummy 😋

In Turkey we make it without cinnamon, raisins and almond and usually use veal mince. Also long grain rice is never used; always short grain or bulgur.

Wonderful, thanks! Ground lamb is relatively cheap; what a beautiful dish this is for less than $10

Such flavor for such a simple recipe.

This looks phenomenal!

looks amazing I doing this for sure Thank You

Ive never tried them with almonds and currants. Looks so good.

chef john... youve done it again. I applaud you.

I made this dish. My family loved it. Thanks for uploading this video.

This is the best recipe i have come across. Definitely giving it a try. Grew up on these bad boys

This looks way too good. Please do more off-beat comfort food recipes like this!

Looks incredible! Thanks!

This looks sooooo delicious.

They came out good! I made a pot of 10 rolls I was left with ONE!!! really thanks Chef John.

Right when the picture came up I almost started drooling, omfg. It looks so amazing.

I actually have a cabbage roll family recipe that I have yet to find similar to anyone elses cabbage rolls. I love them though and this looks amazing! Thanks for the new take on this recipe!

Samale taken to another level. Will try it! Thanks! Cheers from Romania

this dish reminds me so much of my grandmother, she used to make me cut a whole bunch of onions and tomatoes (she did the sauce from scratch :)~ ) with some variants instead of lamb, she used beef and she didn't put almonds and raisins but it all tasted so good I'll try to make this on my own one of this days maybe on my mother's birthday. ty for sharing this recipe!

that looks delish, i am so trying this recipe thank you

Wow perfect ..I love it

Thank you-Having this Sunday!!

I love Food Wishes. This looks sooooooo good. I have everything but the ground lamp in my fridge so I am going to use a mix of hamburger and turkeyburger. Can't wait.

u r fantastic chef John! Thanks!

Best cooking program on youtube for sure !!

This sounds amazing with lamb instead of ground beef. I grew up eating stuffed cabbage. Sometimes my sister, mom and I would get together and make what seemed like hundreds and split them between our families. They keep so well in the freezer. My son never liked them and he doesn’t like lamb so he’s missing out here. He doesn’t like grape leaves either. He’s really missing out cause I think these are probably better than the beef ones. Allspice instead of cinnamon, no feta but maybe some ricotta or just parmigiana. The next day you can make halushki(don’t know if I spelled that right)with the remaining cabbage, onions and kielbasa in a skillet on the stovetop. Lots of butter here too.

this recipe gives me so many idea's!

I'm sure with all the ingredients this dish is bursting with flavors.

I grew up eating this dish made with ground beef. It tastes sooo good!

Yum! Love this chef John

Chef John is my Hero!

Made this tonight! Really yummy, but I think I’d recommend cooking the meat and rice just a bit beforehand

Looks so good

So glad I found this channel!

I love this dish, my mom cooks it (different version) but it is delicious!!! I am soooo hungry now. Maaaa tengo hambre.

Gołąbki! ;) The lamb version.

Hey, Chef John! I have the Lambage Rolls in the oven. In 55 more minutes of cooking (plus 30 minutes rest time), I will give it a taste and give it the five star yummy! I’m an optimist!

Holy crap. I made this. Our first bite was "oh wow, this is amazing". Thanks Chef John! Any suggestions for making this with grape leaves instead?

This meal is awesome.

This is a great recipe.

This looks really tasty. I'll surely try it.

best chef ever!

Sarma in Bulgaria, too... We usually make it with any kind of meat (mainly pork and/or beef), sour cabbage and we boil it, with a plate on top. My family makes it with finely chopped meat instead of minced meat and it is actually fun to sit around a table with other people and chop meat for a whole lot of people.

Awesome recipe.

So many versions of this type of dish using beef, pork, lamb etc. In Hungarian it's known as töltött káposzta, stuffed cabbage. Our family has loved it for generations!!

"A big ol' party... burrito." Hahahahaha!!! Amazing. Chef, thank you for this amazing videos. :D

Awesome way of cooking.liked it.

i like this recipe, it's delicious, ...

A couple of advices from a Serbian dude. We make this dish all year long and it's one of the local specialties. So, apart from lamb, you can do this with almost any ground meat mixture. 50% pork 50% beef is an ideal combination for me. Secondly, it tastes much better if you use soured cabbage heads (you can probably buy them at supermarkets, here we make them as a part of our winter stores). And last but not the least, it tastes even better if you put in in a 180°C oven with a lid on. Cheers! ;)

This looks so tasty

wow wow wow although i'm Arab and this dish is traditional for us , but ur way is awesome i'll try it soon ,, thx

Tried them last night; Awesome!!!

In Poland its just Gołąbki :)

Never thought i'd see this recipe.This is a traditional Romanian recipe used mostly around the holidays,it's called Sarma.You should really try it with pickled cabbage, that is truly amazing:D

Turned out great, would recommend. 8/10

Here, in Lithuania, we have almost the same dish, except we don't add almonds and currants. And we call this dish "Balandėliai" in lithuanian, which means "doves" :)) love this dish very much and I will try to do it in this way ;) thank you for this recipe!

Chef, you really have to try dishes like this with pickled cabbage. It just goes to a whole other level of awesomeness. Makes you never cook anything else. Well, almost, but you get the point

Try this so delicious thank you 😊

This is almost the same as the traditional Romanian dish called "Sarmale". Chef John, you should definitely try to do some Sarmale with Polenta and Creme Fraiche!!

My dad used to make this a lot. Generally served with a few boiled potatoes. :) delicious!

just wanna say, luvre yr channel!! absolute delight.. 333

Love your vids, your food, your voice. A man who will pick a pun, will pick a mans pocket! thanks!

I made this last night exactly like the recipe. It turned out great, but I found the lamb was a little under seasoned. I'm wondering if putting all those seasonings, you are suppose to put in the onions, put on the lamb instead? Oh - also added an egg to the lamb mixture and went a little lighter on the butter/oil for the onions.
