Traditional stuffed cabbage rolls with cod, rice and fresh herbs served in a creamy avgolemono sauce

This kind of cabbage rolls, the "Sarmades", are a delicious dish coming mainly from North Greece where instead of fresh cabbage leaves they often use pickled cabbage which gives a really different and special flavour. It is a traditional recipe, very popular and beside the classic ground meat version of it, it can also be found cooked with a vegetarian filling. In our case today there is no meat involved but fish along with fresh herbs and rice. The dish ends up with a creamy egg and lemon sauce scented though with fresh cardamom for a special taste but also for a beautiful green colour

Today we have a baked version of ryzogalo with the addition of orange which gives a nice refreshing flavour to the pudding
