Stuffed cabbage is great to have on a cold winter day.
It's not that difficult to make and it's very good.
I've had it baked and also coked on the stovetop,

Place cabbage in a large pot,
cover with water and bring to boil.
Lower heat and simmer for about 15 minutes
use tongs to remove the cabbage leaves
one by one from the water,let cool.
In a small bowl pour water over bread
and let sit for ten minutes,
squeeze water from bread.
In a mixing bowl place bread,beef,onion,egg
and pepper then mix real good.
