The dish is favorite to the Shirazi. If you are desired, you can give it a try.
Ingredients
Cabbage, medium, 1 no
Rice, 1 cup
Dried tarragon leaves, 1 cup
Walnuts, ground, 1 cup
Fragrant herbs like, parsley, basil, coriander and the like, 1/2 cup
Hot Spices, 1/2 tsp
Minced meat, 250 g
Onion, 1 no
Salt and oil, as required
Chop the onion finely and fry in a frying pan. Stir in minced meat and let it fried as well. Whisk in ground walnuts plus sweet-smelling herbs, sautéing well. Season with hot spices and salt to taste and keep frying. After a few seconds, switch off the stove.
In a proper-sized pot, pour water and bring it into a boil. Add in the pre-soaked rice and after a few moments, once rice is a little softened, strain the rice. Then mix it with the prepared meat mixture in a mixing bowl.
In the meantime, put the washed cabbage inside a pot containing boiling water. Don't forget to add salt and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Make sure not to boil the Cabbage for plenty of time to avoid making cracks on the leaves. Strain the Cabbage and remove the leaves carefully. Inside each leave put a part of the prepared mixture and roll it carefully. Try to wrap the ingredients so that they don't find a way out during cooking. Repeat this all the leaves and your mixture are over.
Set a pot over the burner and arrange the stuffed Cabbage leaves one next to each other. Again do this carefully to avoid opening the wrapped leaves. Pour 1 cup of water and drizzles of oil over the leaves. Put the lid on and reduce the heat to low till the cabbages are entirely cooked. Once ready, arrange in a plate or platter of a choice and garnish with fresh herbs. Bon Appetit everybody!
