Sarmale for Christmas will be on many Romanians' tables this year as well, but one cannot speak about this dish without mentioning sarmale cabbage. Even though, with the arrival of winter, it can even be found at markets, many people are not prepared with this important vegetable for the classic recipe. [1]
Thus, if you haven't found sarmale cabbage in stores when you needed to choose vegetables for the upcoming Christmas or on Great Friday, you might be wondering what you can do so as not to set aside sarmale and how you can successfully substitute the cabbage.
According to a specialist, if at some point you don't have enough sarmale cabbage in your pantry, you have two options. The first would be, when going shopping, to look for another type of cabbage—namely, the kind usually sold on supermarket shelves and generally available at markets.
The second option, according to the same person, would be to replace sarmale cabbage with other leafy greens, such as regular cabbage or spinach.
