Stuffed Cabbage(Lahana Sarması)
classic
The stuffed cabbage carries the large, soft, and sweet character of winter leaves; the version with kale is read as a separate family.
In the pre-boiling process, the leaves are not fully cooked; they may break while wrapping.

Shortcuts worth knowing
Pick the good one
Separate grains in pilaf come from washing and resting the rice, not from extra butter.
Common myth
Tighter is not better in stuffed leaves; rice swells, and an over-tight roll bursts as it cooks.
