Malfouf Mehcheh - stuffed cabbage rolls
Delicious Lebanese recipe with minced beef, lots of garlic, lemon and cabbage :)
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil the cabbage to soften the leaves and carefully separate the leaves from the core.
- 2
On the side, mix the minced beef with the washed & rinsed rice, spices & salt
- 3
When the leaves are ready, meaning you can roll them gently without them breaking, take them out of the boiling pot. Add the mixture like in the photo and start rolling the cabbage slowly.
- 4
Place the rolls side by side in a pot and in between place the peeled cloves of garlic. Keep going until all cabbage leaves and the meat are used or pot is full ;)
- 5
Fry some garlic with olive oil and a squeeze of 🍋. When they get golden color add them to the pot
- 6
Add the lemon juice to the pot as well and add water until all rolls are covered up. Place a "heavy" plate on the pot, bring them to boil (high temperature)
- 7
Turn the heat down and let them simmer slowly for ~45min or more if needed (cabbage should not be crunchy by then)
- 8
Serve hot. I serve it with plain yogurt (or greek) and a squeeze of lemon.

Sahtein! Hope you like it!

Stuffed Cabbage Stuffed Cabbage
This Lebanese version of cabbage rolls is just one of many variations served all over the world. It is particularly enjoyed during the colder fall and winter months. The word “Malfouf” actually has 2 meanings in Arabic, “rolled” and “cabbage.” Loads of fresh garlic and lemon juice give these cabbage rolls wonderful flavor.😍👌

Stuffed whole cabbage Stuffed whole cabbage
I do not want to say all of us but let say most of us know traditional roll stuffed cabbage leaves and in different countries there is a variety of stuffed cabbage leaves recipes. In Iran we make stuffed sweet-sour cabbage leaves – plus savoury version of the dish.But today I am going to introduce stuffed WHOLE CABBAGE . It was so excited to prepare this dish. It looks like a meat layered cake and actually some of my own friends thought it is a kinda cake but they found out no it is an entire whole stuffed cabbage :)For preparing this dish, you may use minced beef, lamb, turkey or pork . Or you may skip the the meat and go on with vegetables such as mushroom, carrot, bell pepper, aromatic fresh herbs, tomato.You also would need to have cheese cloth to hold whole cabbage head together.#dolma#cabbage#stuffed_cabbage

One of my favorite meals as a child was my Grandmother Donahue's stuffed cabbage rolls. This is my version of her recipe for the crockpot. I love cooked cabbage so I just chopped it instead of rolling the meat in the cabbage leaves.

Pontian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Black Cabbage Pontian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Black Cabbage
Oh! How much I love Pontian recipes, especially when they are taught to you by your grandma and mom. Such wonderful memories, sitting and making stuffed cabbage rolls with my mom and grandma from a very young age. I hope to teach my child to make them someday, as cooking passes down through generations. I also remember frequently going to the kitchen, opening the pot, and eating them one by one, finishing the whole pot quickly 🤪🤪.

Black pepper, Cinnamon, Cumin, Coriander, Cardamom, Cloves, and Nutmeg.
The ratio is one measure of the first 5 spices and 1/2 measure of the last 2.
I personally never made it myself but now I am curious to try!
