  • Give the cabbage rolls a couple of hours to thaw, then brown them on both sides in vegetable oil until lightly golden (don't crowd the pan — work in 2–3 batches so they brown without tearing).
  • Peel the onion and cut it into large dice. Peel, rinse, and shred the carrot on a coarse grater.
  • Heat a skillet, add vegetable oil, add the onion, and sauté for 2 minutes. Then add the carrot and sauté for another 1–2 minutes.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot (I use a Dutch oven), layer in the browned cabbage rolls, then the sautéed vegetables, and pour in fresh broth (or just water). Don't forget to add salt, ground black pepper, allspice, and the bay leaf.
  • The liquid should cover the cabbage rolls completely — if not, add a little more broth (or water). Set the pot on the stove and, once it comes to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and braise for 40 minutes.
  • Divide the fragrant cabbage rolls among serving plates and serve with sour cream and fresh herbs.
  • Enjoy every bite!
