Malfouf is a comforting Lebanese classic, and I've turned it into a generous and flavorful sandwich that will take you on a journey. Imagine tender cabbage leaves, gently blanched, wrapped around a savory lamb and rice filling, perfumed with mint and parsley. Each bite is a balance between the sweetness of the cabbage, the tenderness of the meat, and the tangy freshness of the tahini sauce. This dish pays tribute to the street food of the Middle East, where generosity and spices meet. You will love preparing these little golden rolls, topped with a creamy sauce that ties it all together. Perfect for a quick lunch or a casual dinner, this Lebanese sandwich will become your new favorite. Serve it with lemon wedges and fresh mint for an explosion of flavors.

Fresh parsley3 tbsp, chopped
Tomato paste1 tbsp
Lemon juice2 tbsp
Tahini (sesame paste)3 tbsp
Plain yogurt4 tbsp
Salt1 tsp
Black pepper½ tsp
Dried mint1 tsp
Olive oil2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Blanch the cabbage leaves in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and remove the tough central rib. Set aside.
2
Prepare the filling: in a bowl, mix the raw rice, ground meat, onion, garlic, parsley, tomato paste, mint, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Knead well.
3
Place a portion of filling (about 2 tbsp) in the center of each cabbage leaf, fold in the sides, and roll into a small cigar shape. Repeat with all leaves.
4
In a large skillet or pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down. Add a glass of water (about 200 ml), cover, and simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, until rice is cooked.
5
Meanwhile, prepare the tahini sauce: whisk tahini with yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and 2 tbsp cold water to form a liquid but creamy consistency.
6
Serve the stuffed cabbage rolls hot, drizzled with tahini-yogurt sauce, accompanied by grilled pita bread and a fresh tomato and cucumber salad.
