You have to boil the cabbage first to make is pliable. Then you fol the top down then the bottom up then each sides in and stick a toothpick through it.
what the hell is a baba?
Please, if you find out will you tell me to?Please!!!!!!! I love those things.e-mail me at nor.1953@yahoo.com Please!!!!
The main points are to


1. take the leaves and cut away most of the stalk to make it thinner - so that where the stalk WAS there is only a thin bit left - almost as thin as the cabbage leaf surrounding it.


2. boil the leaves until they're a bit soft. Otherwise you can't wrap them around anything..!





After doing that it should be easier, even if they're not the same as your baba's - whoever that is!
Parboil the cabbage for a few minutes to make the leaves tender and pliable enough to roll.
