Method

1. Remove the cabbage leaves one by one.
2. Meanwhile, bring a generous amount of water to a boil in a pot.
3. Blanch the cabbage leaves briefly—just 2 minutes to soften them.
4. Mix the stuffing ingredients of rice, spices, meat, and ghee at room temperature.
5. Begin stuffing the cabbage leaves, removing the leaf rib where necessary to make rolling easier.
6. Arrange the stuffed cabbage leaves in the pot and cover them with water.
7. Place a plate with a heavy object on top of the leaves to keep them from unfolding when the water boils.
8. When the water boils, you can lift the weight and plate; then mix crushed garlic, lemon to taste, and dried mint and add them on top of the pot.
9. Lower the heat under the stuffed cabbage, cover the pot, and let it cook gently; it needs at least 1 hour.
