These delectable tapas offer a wonderful contrast between the savory goodness of sausage and the sweetness of cabbage leaves. They're at their best when served immediately.
In a small saucepan, place the cabbage leaves with enough water to cover them.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the leaves become tender, which takes about 15 minutes.
Drain the leaves and cut each one in half lengthwise.
While the cabbage leaves are cooking, heat a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausage links and cook, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned.
Ensure not to overcook them.
After cooking, cut each sausage link in half crosswise.
In a medium skillet, heat at least 1/2 inch of olive oil over medium-high heat, or better yet, use a deep fryer set at 365°F.
You'll know the oil is ready when a cube of bread turns light brown in 60 seconds.
Place the beaten eggs and flour in separate shallow bowls.
To assemble the tapas, wrap each cabbage leaf around one piece of sausage, folding in the sides, and then rolling it up.
Dip each roll in the beaten egg, coat it with flour, and carefully place it in the hot oil.
Fry the rolls, turning them occasionally, until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Once done, let them drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
