Summer cabbage rolls with vegetables are a light and aromatic dish from Ukrainian cuisine, perfect for warm days. This recipe is a variation of classic cabbage rolls where juicy seasonal vegetables like sweet peppers and tomatoes replace cabbage leaves. The minced beef and pork infused with fresh basil and complemented by rice create a rich flavor and tender texture. The vegetables slowly simmering in the pot retain their natural sweetness and absorb the meat juices, turning into a juicy and fragrant treat. This dish is suitable for both family dinners and festive gatherings. Summer cabbage rolls can be served with herbs and sour cream to enhance their fresh taste.
