Matt Preston's cabbage rolls

Matt's mums cabbage rolls

"This is the dish that I crave when I go back to my mum’s house in London. The sausage meat might not be traditional, or even very good for you, but this is a peasant dish that’s all about maximum flavour for minimum price. Tasty but mean – that’s me all over. This amount is for four people, but I usually make double – these rolls are also really very good the day after" - Matt Preston.
