If you have any roast beef left don't worry, this traditional Italian recipe is perfect!
Now we show step-by-step how to prepare cabbage rolls.

Soak the dry bread in the milk and then squeeze out any excess of milk.
Steam the cabbage leaves for few minutes until tender.
Grind the roast beef or buy ground beef.
Grind the raw ham.
Put the ham, beef, bread, onion, aromatic herbs and the egg, lightly beaten, in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and shape the mixture to 12 balls according to the size of the cabbage leaves.
Place every ball into the centre of each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf around the filling and fold down the edges as you can see in the photo; fasten with a toothpick only if necessary.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking dish. Place the rolls in the pan and sprinkle the dry breadcrumbs and Parmesan on the top. Prepare a mixture with the olive oil and wine and spoon the rolls with it. Bake until the surface is golden (about 30 minutes or more). Add some tablespoons of vegetable stock only if necessary.
Serve the cabbage rolls warm.

Note

Our suggestion is: Dolcetto di Dogliani (red wine from Piedmont)
