How to Make Bulgur with meat stuffed cabbage

  • Add all the ingredients to a cooker or rice cooker, add two cups of water and cook it, until all the water is absorbed and cooked.
  • Once cooked, stir with a fork, to separate the grains.
  • For the meat stuffed cabbage bundles(I have used here the Chinese cabbage leaves, you can also use the normal ones which would be equally good):
  • Heat the oil in a pan, add ginger garlic paste, meat, spices and salt.
  • Cook it, until the meat is completely cooked, the water is absorbed and it looks dry.
  • To stuff the cabbage leaves, gently remove the leaves, without tearing and wash well.
  • Immerse it in a boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove it from the water and pat dry completely.
  • Place a level tablespoon of meat mixture in the middle of the leaves and wrap it up tightly, enclosed without any gap.
  • Repeat it with the remaining leaves and steam it, in a steamer or any method of steaming which you use, for 10 minutes.
  • For the carrot bundles:
  • Slice the carrots lengthwise and steam them.
  • To tie the carrot bundles, use chives or a coriander stalk.
  • For the red pepper sauce:
  • Preheat the oven to high.
  • Smoke the red pepper for about 1/2 an hour, until the skin gets blackened out completely.
  • Remove the top layer completely, grind it along with garlic, chilli and salt.
  • To serve this meal in a plate, add the bulgur first, then the stuffed cabbage leaves, carrot bundles and some red pepper sauce on side.
