In a large pot add full head of cabbage cover with salted water, bring to boil. Let cook until cabbage becomes tender. Drain, cool down with cold water, drain. Gently peel about 12 –16 leaves from the head.

While cabbage is tenderizing, mix together, the meat, eggs, rice, oats, bread crumbs, and spices. Roll into 1 inch balls.

Once the cabbage is ready, place 1 ball in each leaf nearest the spine of the leaf, fold sides over the center, then roll forward. Use a toothpick to hold the rolled leaf together, it’s best if you can pierce the spine of the leaf.
