Cabbage in the winter months is more tender and sweet.
We can also add a teaspoon of chopped turmeric or ginger if we want.
A very nice variation and delicious is to replace the rice with oatmeal or quinoa or buckwheat.
It gives a wonderful taste to the food if alternatively we sprinkle it with smoked paprika.
It binds wonderfully if we make it with sausage or minced meat.
