For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground pork before mixing it with the other filling ingredients. Savoy cabbage is recommended for its delicate texture, but regular green cabbage can also be used. If using green cabbage, blanch the leaves slightly longer to make them more pliable. To prevent the cabbage rolls from drying out during baking, ensure they are fully submerged in the chicken stock. Add more stock if needed. If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be substituted. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried dill for every tablespoon of fresh dill. These cabbage rolls are delicious served with a dollop of extra sour cream on top.
