Then prepare the stuff with those leaves previously cooked (avoiding to be completely cooked). Place a spoonful of stuff in each leaf, close them and roll. Once prepared, place them in a pot with water to cover them (previously put at the bottom cabbage leaves), a drop of vinegar and a drop of oil.
