Place cabbage in the freezer for a few days. The night before making the rolls, take it out to thaw.

Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to my wife, Paulette back in 1970's. Paulette made it several times, and I loved it. It is a Croatian recipe. Takes some work and time, but worth it.
P:S: It also STINKS up the kitchen.
