Stuffed Black Cabbage Rolls with Meat (Rize Style)

Rize-style stuffed black cabbage rolls with meat are made by wrapping finely chopped black cabbage leaves around a filling of minced meat, rice, and onions. The stuffing is often enriched with regional Black Sea spices and sometimes cracked corn for added texture. Slowly cooked over low heat, it develops a rich flavor with a distinctive, slightly tangy taste.
