Fold the sides
Start rolling the cabbage upwards, making sure that the stuffing remains tight
Place the rolled cabbage leaf in a casserole dish
Continue until all the leaves are stuffed or you are out of stuffing

Place the casserole dish in the oven and allow to bake for about 15 minutes
Remove and serve the stuffed cabbage as a side dish or main meal
