Delicious Slow-cooked Cabbage Rolls
"This stuffed cabbage roll is a traditional Macedonian food that can be served at family dinner parties. You can add some chopped chorizo to the meat mixture to add a smoky flavor. Alternatively, you can use a pork-chicken ground meat combination for a lighter flavor. You can add aromatics such as cloves, thyme, parsley, and even rosemary if you like herbs. They all work well in this recipe. Pair this dish with light to medium-bodied red wines, a combination that would level up the dining experience. Here are our top choices for wines: *Pinot Noir *Grenache *Merlot *Cabernet Franc "
