One of my favorite cabbage rolls is the mediterranean stuffed cabbage dish! especially, today i'm highlighting the middle eastern stuffed cabbage rolls, filled with ground beef and rice and cooked in a Dutch oven or in a stove top pot with garlic and tomato sauce with mint and lemon as well. This rolled cabbage leaves recipe is so healthy and gluten free!

if you never had this flavor combo before, quite frankly, you're missing out.

Not only this cabbage dish is delicious, maybe among the best ones i had tried ever, but also, a very healthy cabbage rolls recipe.

Normally, in this recipe, we have to cut the meat by hand. like literally, chop the meat piece by piece by hand until you get a fine ground beef. but, honestly, i'm skipping this part, it looks for me a detail but i'm sure people who invented this dish had a point of doing that!

Anyways, the result will be so good that you can expect kids trying it.

If you can get a little help, that will be awesome because rolling process needs some extra hands
