Mix red pepper paste, hot water, and salt.
Pour evenly over the cabbage rolls.
Place small pieces of butter and whole garlic cloves on top.
Cover with baking paper (lightly moistened).
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 1 hour.
Remove from oven, uncover, and serve hot.
Optional: serve with yogurt for extra flavor.
Tips
- Don’t overboil the cabbage—it should be soft but still strong enough to roll.
- You can replace minced meat with a vegetarian filling if desired.
- Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes before serving for better texture.
