ARMENIAN STUFFED CABBAGE

Preparation Method :

• To Make Stuffing: Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add onions and cook until soft and golden.
• Add rice, cover and cook on a low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook for 5 - 7 more minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• To Prepare The Leaves For Stuffing: Drop 4 leaves at a time, into a large saucepan of boiling water and cook at least for 2 minutes.
• Drain and flatten leaves and discard the thick centre vein.
• Place a heaped tablespoon of filling on each leaf, tuck sides in, roll up lightly and lay, side-by-side, in a casserole dish.
• Pour chicken stock over rolls, cover and simmer at least for 25 - 30 minutes or until filling is tender. Check and add extra stock if needed.
