HOW TO STORE:
- Although I love this best when it is fresh - you can store it. Place any remaining Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls into an airtight container or ziptop bag and place in the refrigerator and it should stay good for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, reheat in microwave until heated through.
- This can also be frozen, which is one of my favorite parts. I love recipes that we can freeze later for an easy meal. To freeze, place in airtight container or freezer bag and it should last for up to 3 months.
- To thaw, let sit in the refrigerator overnight and when ready to serve, place your portion in a bowl and reheat in the microwave until heated through.
