These rolls are not only a healthy choice but also a wonderful way to take advantage of the richness of fresh vegetables from the garden. By using lamb's quarters leaves instead of traditional cabbage leaves, you will create a light, flavorful, and nutrient-rich dish. A brief history of cabbage rolls: This dish has been enjoyed over time by many cultures, symbolizing hospitality and tradition. Every household has its own version, and today I will share my favorite recipe for post cabbage rolls, which are not only healthy but also full of flavor. Ingredients: For the filling: - A handful of red lamb's quarters leaves (about 200 g) - A bunch of fresh parsley - A bunch of fresh dill - ½ carrot (about 50 g) - Green onion (as much as you like, 3-4 stalks) - 3 large tomatoes - 400 g rice - 4-5 tablespoons of white flour - 7-8 tablespoons of cornmeal - Salt and pepper to taste - Oil for sautéing For wrapping: - Lamb's quarters leaves - Tomatoes and peppers (optional, for added flavor) Instructions: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by going to the garden (or the market) to gather the lamb's quarters leaves, parsley, dill, and green onions. Choose tender, medium-sized lamb's quarters leaves for easy rolling. Check that they are clean and free of spots. 2. Chopping the greens: Wash all the greens well and chop them finely. Place them in a large bowl, where you will later add the other ingredients. 3. Preparing the onion: Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a pan and add the onion. Sauté it over medium heat, adding a glass of water to soften it. It will become sweet and aromatic. 4. Preparing the carrot: Peel and wash the carrot, then grate it finely. Add it to the pan over the sautéed onion and mix well. 5. Adding the tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes and chop them into small cubes. Add them to the pan, stirring constantly. Let everything simmer for a few minutes until the tomatoes soften. 6. Preparing the rice: In a separate bowl, wash the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Then, let it soak in warm water for 10-15 minutes. 7. Combining the ingredients: Once the carrot and tomatoes are cooked, add the drained rice, white flour, and cornmeal. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the composition well until it becomes homogeneous. Let the mixture cool slightly. 8. Preparing the lamb's quarters leaves: Boil water in a large pot. When the water is boiling, add the lamb's quarters leaves, one by one. Blanch them for just a few seconds until they become slightly flexible. Remove them with a spatula and let them cool on a clean towel. 9. Forming the cabbage rolls: Take a lamb's quarters leaf and place a tablespoon of filling in the center. Roll the leaf from the base to the tip, folding in the sides to form a small pouch. Repeat the process until you exhaust the filling. 10. Cooking the cabbage rolls: Place the rolls in a pot, on the bottom of which you have placed some grape leaves and a few sprigs of lovage for flavor. Add enough water to cover them. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer over medium heat for 25-30 minutes. The post cabbage rolls cook faster than those with meat. 11. Serving: You can serve the rolls hot, alongside a fresh salad or with a spoonful of plant-based sour cream. You can also add stuffed peppers and tomatoes with the same filling for extra color and flavor. Practical tips: - If lamb's quarters leaves are not available, you can use grape leaves or cabbage, but lamb's quarters rolls have a unique and fresh taste. - Make sure to drain the rice well before adding it to the filling to avoid a too wet mixture. - You can add spices like thyme or sweet paprika to intensify the flavors.
