Ukrainian Cabbage Rolls!
Tweet Pin ItOn April 21st we had a great class with Nataliya! She led to class to making their first Holubci. Holubci is a form of cabbage roll that is stuffed with rice and ground meat. Cooked on the stove or baked in the oven. We all had our chance at rolling our own cabbage rolls and tightly packing them in the pot just as Nataliya’s grandmother did growing up.
Nataliya taught us some tips and tricks to steaming cabbage and making sure one can easily remove all the cabbage leaves easily from a head of cabbage without ripping or tearing, critical in making a tasty and good looking roll.
We also learned to make a staple eggplant and tomato side dish, which surely did not dissapoint, adding rich color and flavor to the meal. Along side the Apple Charlotte we had a great dinner!
This was the first time for many of our students to eat Ukrainian food, and surely not the last. Check back for other classes with Nataliya.
