Italian Stuffed Cabbage Roll Recipe

-
 healthy Stuffed Cabbage with red rice. Good for those who's health conscious one or on diet. It's Very light dish. In fact I can eat 3 rolls :-) since red/brown rice is higher in fiber compared to white rice so not so heavy on stomach.  By cooking your red rice like this it's give more taste on it 😋.
