Ingredients
- 1 green cabbage
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- ½ cup long grain white rice
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon lemon juice juice of
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 cloves garlic (grated)
- 2 tablespoons dried mint (crushed)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water (or chicken broth) to a boil.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully remove tough inner core of the cabbage. When water or broth has come to a boil, add the whole head of cabbage (cored) to the pot. In about 2-3 minutes, the cabbage leaves will slowly start to separate from the head. Carefully place them on a plate as they fall off the core.
- In a medium bowl, combine sirloin, rice, salt, pepper, lemon juice, cinnamon and half of the garlic.
- Working one leaf at a time, place 1-2 tablespoons of meat mixture in the middle and roll until meat is covered with cabbage.
- Place stuffed cabbage rolls in the same pot you used to cook the leaves and line them up close together, alternating direction with each layer. Continue until leaves are gone.
- If you have any extra meat mixture, roll them into tiny meatballs and add them on top of the stuffed rolls. Cover stuffed cabbage with water – about ½ in above top layer. Throw in dried mint and remaining 2 crushed garlic cloves. Squeeze any leftover lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Take a small plate and turn it upside down and place on top of rolls.Push down to ensure all rolls are submersed in liquid. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20-30 minutes or until meat is fully cooked through. Serve with plain yogurt.
Notes
- Optional but if you have a celery stick or two laying around, add it to the pot for added flavor.
- Excellent source of Vitamin C.
