There are different versions of this recipe from all over the Balkans. You may be able to get sour cabbage from an Eastern European market; if not, you can boil the cabbage heads until soft enough to work with (the dish will taste slightly different – maybe add some vinegar to the broth). It is a very filling dish! Don’t worry about leftovers, they taste just fine reheated (use the stove, not the microwave)!
Got this recipe from Lorac on the Eastern European thread. It’s GREAT! Easy to make and relatively inexpensive since it is mostly vegetables. My husband, who is Serbian, loved it! Sorry some of the ingredients are in metric, but I just guessed on some of them as noted in the directions. I’m just guessing on the servings since it made quite a large pot of stew. Enjoy!
I love this street vendor dish, although I wish I could try it right in Belize! Day old or stale corn tortillas are preferred as they have a lower moisture content and fry up better. There are other toppings that you can use on this but I like this traditional version. Enjoy!
