What Is Savoy Cabbage?
Carolyn Hodges

Savoy cabbage looks similar to green cabbage but has distinct ruffled leaves. It has a mild, sweet flavor. Savoy cabbage is perfect forroasting,braising, and makingwraps, stir-fries and stuffed cabbage.
How to Prepare Savoy Cabbage Leaves for Stuffing
To prep savoy cabbage, remove 12 of the outermost leaves from a large head of cabbage, being careful to keep the leaves intact without tearing. Rinse them well. Trim off any thick woody stems with a sharp knife. Cook the leaves in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes until they’re softened and pliable.
How to Make the Egg Roll Filling
For the filling, you will need to prepare the ingredients before mixing. For the chopped broccoli, use some of the boiling water to blanch them briefly in a colander, then run the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process. For the brown rice, cook it beforehandon the stovetopor in anInstant Pot. Our recipe uses lean ground pork, but feel free to substitute it with ground turkey or tofu crumbles.
How to Stuff the Cabbage Leaves
Place 1/3 cup of filling over the bottom third of a softened cabbage leaf. Fold the bottom and sides over the filling and roll up. Place, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
How to Bake the Cabbage Rolls
When all the cabbage leaves are stuffed, rolled and placed in the baking dish, pour the remaining sauce on top. Cover and bake for about 40 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a roll registers 150°F.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
