Description

These savoy cabbage rolls with sheep cheese are a hearty and aromatic dish that tastes particularly good in the colder seasons. The savoy cabbage is blanched and then wrapped with a filling of sheep cheese and ham. A creamy sauce with grated cheese and almonds rounds off the dish. I like to make the roulades when I want to cook something hearty and special at the same time. They are perfect as a main course and can be served well with boiled potatoes. A great dish for a cozy dinner!

About this recipe

Savoy cabbage rolls with sheep cheese are a piece of culinary childhood for me, even though my grandma traditionally prepared them with minced meat. I only discovered the variant with sheep cheese later and it has since become one of my favorite variations. The slightly sour, salty sheep cheese harmonizes wonderfully with the earthy savoy cabbage and the hearty ham. It is a dish that exudes warmth and security, perfect for cold autumn or winter evenings. The savoy cabbage is of course the main ingredient here. When buying, make sure you get a fresh, crisp head with firm leaves. The outer leaves should not have any yellow or wilted spots. The sheep cheese, preferably a feta made from sheep's milk, brings the spice and creaminess to the filling. The ham provides an additional hearty note. The onion forms the aromatic base for the sauce, while butter and flour provide the binding. The milk makes the sauce creamy and the vegetable broth gives it depth. The almonds, roasted and chopped, provide a nice crunch and a nutty aroma. The preparation with the Thermomix® makes the production of the sauce enormously easier. Chopping the onion and sautéing it are perfect, and the sauce becomes wonderfully creamy without burning. It is important that you slowly stir in the milk and vegetable broth to avoid lumps. Also make sure to add the cheese only at the end so that it does not melt too much and the sauce becomes too thick. For a vegetarian version, you can simply omit the ham or replace it with dried tomatoes or olives. A vegan version is a bit more complex, but possible. Replace the sheep cheese with a vegan cheese alternative and use plant-based milk and margarine. Instead of vegetable broth, you can also use a strong herb broth. Feel free to experiment with other spices. Caraway, marjoram or thyme go perfectly with savoy cabbage. Serve the savoy cabbage rolls best with boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. A fresh salad with a light vinegar-oil dressing also goes well with it. The roulades can be prepared well in advance. You can fill them the day before and place them in the baking dish. You can also prepare the sauce and pour it over the roulades shortly before baking. Leftovers of the roulades can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated the next day. They taste almost even better then, as the flavors have infused even better.
