Ingredients for 6 servings

What you need:
  • 1. have an old dad who, in retirement, left the big city to settle in the countryside to watch his vegetables grow.
  • 2. Take a neighbor of this dad who had her husband grow cabbage plants to make sauerkraut at Christmas (?). Take this husband with a "green thumb" who sows everywhere and gives his plants that have become too numerous to your dad, curious, who will transplant them in his vegetable garden.
  • 3. you get the basic element, an enormous cabbage weighing 3 kg, whose species you don't know, but that you know is mild because you've tasted it raw.
  • Patricia's stuffed cabbage ingredients for 6 people:

  • 100 gr of smoked bacon
  • 300 gr of cooked salt pork (in winter, at your butcher/delicatessen, in any case at mine)
  • 50 gr of grated gruyere
  • 200 gr of rice cooked in water (prepared the day before for example)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablet of broth concentrate (organic, because I don't want you to catch Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, you can never be too careful with the agribusiness industry, blablabla...)

  • 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
  • salt and pepper
