Instructions
- To make sure it gets cleaned well, take off the first layer of leaves from the cabbage and rinse well.
- Take out the core of the cabbage and place the entire head in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes.
- Allow the cabbage to cool off to the side while you make the filling.
- In a bowl, put in rice that has been rinsed but not cooked, diced tomatoes, cumin, tomato paste, allspice, and oil.
- Peel the leaves off of the cabbage once it has cooled, and place a spoonful of the mixture in the center.
- Roll the leaf up tightly like a burrito and put them in a pot.
- Once all the leaves have been rolled, place cloves of garlic in between them and squeeze half a lemon over everything.
- Fill the pot with water so all the cabbage rolls are covered by about an inch.
- Steam for about 45 minutes and enjoy!
