Cabbage is a staple in Ukrainian cuisine, not just for its many outstanding health benefits but for its versatility and economy.

The quintessential Ukrainian cabbage dish is of course holubtsi, aka cabbage rolls. The traditional rolls can be quite time consuming to make, so modern cooks often opt for "lazy cabbage rolls" which is basically a layered casserole of cabbage, rice, and other ingredients.

In this episode of Ukrainian Food Flair, Sylvia shares her recipe for a hearty dinner variation with ground beef, rice, and cabbage.

She also shares some very interesting anecdotes about cabbage folklore and medicinal qualities.
