Ingredients for Stuffed Cabbage with Rice and Vegetables:

 

• 1 small cabbage
• 1½ cups of Egyptian rice, washed and drained
• ½ bunch of finely chopped cilantro
• ½ bunch of finely chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dill
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 5 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Ground cumin (to taste)
• Ground coriander seeds (to taste)
• Chili powder (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon of oil
• 2 cups of broth

Preparation Steps for Stuffed Cabbage with Rice and Vegetables:

1. Prepare the Cabbage:

   • Boil the cabbage leaves in salted water with a little cumin until they soften. Remove and cut them into appropriately sized pieces for stuffing.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
   • Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant. Then, add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, cumin, black pepper, chili powder, and ground coriander seeds. Stir the mixture and let it simmer for a few minutes.
   • Reduce the heat, add the rice, dill, cilantro, and parsley, and stir until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

3. Stuff the Cabbage:

   • Lay each cabbage leaf flat on a surface and place a spoonful of the rice mixture in the center.
   • Roll the cabbage leaf around the filling, folding in the sides to form a tight wrap.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.

4. Cook the Stuffed Cabbage:

   • Line the bottom of a large pot with some cabbage leaves to prevent burning.
   • Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls neatly on top of each other in the pot.
   • In a separate bowl, mix the broth with the remaining 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Pour the mixture over the stuffed cabbage rolls, making sure the liquid reaches all the rolls by gently shaking the pot.
   • Bring the broth to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer until the cabbage and rice are fully cooked (about 30-40 minutes).
