Serving: Serve the cabbage rolls hot with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad. They also pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave individual rolls.
Variations:
