Holiday weekends are for lots of cooking & feasts like this Lebanese one! I had fresh cabbage & other produce delivered from @localfarmok so I made these cabbage rolls! 🥬🍋🧄🍅
Remove core of cabbage and parboil cabbage briefly. Separate leaves. (Slice large rib areas off before rolling) Lay these discards in the bottom of your 4qt pan. In a separate bowl, mix meat, rice, and spices. Place a Tbsp on each leaf and roll (not too tight because it will expand as rice cooks). Arrange in layers over the ribs of cabbage. Cover layers with water & lemon juice just a bit higher than the top layer. Sprinkle a bit more salt over the top. Place a saucer over cabbage to keep them intact when cooking. Cover and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes then simmer for 20min. Let cool a bit and then invert carefully onto platter or shallow bowl. Can be served with tomato sauce & Lebnah. Enjoy!
