Ingredients
- 1 Cabbage Middle Eastern if possible
- 6 Garlic Cloves minced
- 2 cups Rice short grain
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Seven Spices
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 oz Lamb ground
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
For the Cabbage
- Peel cabbage leaves. Bring a pot of water to boil.
- Blanch cabbage leaves until soft and set aside.
For the Filling
- Place rice in a bowl and cover with water. Let sit for 15 minutes and drain.
- Mix the rice, salt, spices, and meat.
- Place a few leaves in the bottom of the pot to be used for cooking.
- Take a small amount of filling and place in cabbage leaf. Roll into cigar shape and place in the pot. Stack malfouf until the pot is full.
- Mince garlic and spread on top layer of malfouf. (Place a plate on top of the malfouf in the pot, so that they don't float.)
- Pour the broth into the pot. Bring to a boil, and then turn down to a simmer. Cover loosely with lid, so that steam can escape easily.
- Once the water levels with the top of the malfouf, you can remove the plate. Cover again and keep cooking.
- Cook until done, about 45 minutes in total or until broth has cooked off.
- Remove lid. Place the serving dish over the pot and then flip. Remove pot and serve immediately with yogurt and salad.
