Cabbage; a
wonderful Vegetable to enjoy raw or cooked.
I bought
this very soft and juicy cabbage at my TUrkisch shop to make coleslaw but then I was watching a show where they
were making the grape leaves roll, so I thought well why not make this with
cabbage leaves :)
It’s
nothing difficult, the effect Is the same, either to cut and make it with the
minced meat or you roll it in the leaves.
We all love
eating Cabbage in raw form, few know the positive side effects of this great
Vegetable.It is rich in vitamin A-B-C-K , a super supplier of Calcium, Magnesium
and Iron.A special kicker for the metabolic system, a good helper for patients
of Gout.
Do include
this in your weekly meals in a form of salad.
I prepared
the mince as we do it for any mince dish, you can find many recipes in the
archives, just plain and simple for filling.
We blanch
the leaves ot make them soft and foldable, for that you just need to cook water
and lay the leaves in it for around 2-3 minutes, drain and dry
Cut off the
stem part as it is hard and won’t fold easily and then start filling each
leave.
Place the mince in the middle and start wrapping
like a parcel, or a roll making sure the sides are secured, so the mince stays
in it while frying
I tuck a
tooth pick on each end to seal it, many tie a thread too, but it holds firm if the
leave is soft and wrapped tightly.
I used half
butter and half oil to fry them, the butter gives it a very nice touch in aroma
: )
Fry it on a
medium heat and keep it turning with the help of a fork so you achieve an even
color and the leaves do not burn
I hardly
used 2 tbs of fat in this as I took 1tbs butter and 1 tbs of oil.
Why mixed
oil in it?? This prevents the butter to burn or turn brown so I always spray
some oil if I am using pure butter in anything being fried.
You can
have them with salad and any whole meal bread or with rice which is what I did.
Ultra delicious
and a full filling lunch :)
Have fun in
making them and enjoy!
