Stuffed cabbage is a dish consisting of cabbage leaves in which a filling is wrapped. The stuffing can be different, but most often it is minced meat with rice, onions and spices. Stuffed cabbage is stewed in a sauce, which can be tomato, sour cream or mixed. This dish is popular in many countries of the world, and its recipes may differ slightly depending on the region.
Cheburek is a traditional dish of some peoples of the Middle East and Russia. It is a pie made of thin puff pastry filled with chopped meat and spices. Most often chebureks are fried in plenty of vegetable oil until a golden crust is formed. Chebureks can be round, square or crescent-shaped
. Few people know that these two rather opposite dishes can be combined. Let’s tell you how to cook stuffed cabbage in the form of chebureks.

- Onion – 2 pcs;
- Garlic – 3 cloves;

Remove the bulging vein from each leaf, place the stuffing on half of the leaf and cover the stuffing with the other half.
If desired, you can trim the rough edges.
Beat eggs in a separate bowl, roll the chebureks first in flour, then in egg. Put the chebureki stuffed cabbage in a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry on both sides for 3-5 minutes under a lid until browned.
