- 1 roll from the previous day
- 1 onion
- Salt

Instructions
- Blanch 8 whole white cabbage leaves in portions in boiling salted water for approx. 4 minutes. Rinse in ice water and pat dry.
- Soak the bread roll in lukewarm water. Finely dice the onion.
- Mix the minced meat with the squeezed-out roll, the onion cubes and the egg. Season with salt, pepper, marjoram and nutmeg.
- Spread the mince mixture over the cabbage leaves. First fold in the sides, then roll up, cover with a slice of bacon and tie with kitchen twine.
- Heat the clarified butter in a roasting pan. Sear the roulades on all sides until they have taken on colour. Fry the bacon cubes for 5 minutes, then pour in the meat stock. Cover and simmer on a low heat for 30 minutes.
