Cabbage rolls

I bought some cabbage or something (nykàl, dunno correct translation) since someone told me it's very yummy so i wanted to test it out, then i was thinking what to do with it, and i dunno where i came up with the idea, but i kinda wanted to make cabbage rolls, so i searched around on the net to find out how to make something like this (including how to make spring rolls and summer rolls xD). I'm too lazy to link the bunch of sites i visited since i doubt anyone click the links anyway, so i'll just post the recipe =p And yes it's created by me since i didn't really follow any specific recipe, i just looked for inspiration xD I first tried something raw, but figured something was missing and i think that something would be that everything needed to be heated xD So yes, heat it!

The recipe is for what i used/had, if you use other ingredients, or more, or less, or non of something it doesn't really matter i guess =p

Cabbage rolls

Ingredients:
Cabbage leafs (preferable big and whole ones, 1 cabbage leaf for each cabbage roll, i think i used like 3 or 4 xD)
1 carrot, chopped in long, thin pieces like matches
0,5 onion, chopped in long, thin pieces
1 clove garlic, chopped in long, thin pieces
1 dl chickpeas (i used frozen ones, if you use dry ones you must soak them overnight and boil them for a while first)
0,5 dl frozen chopped spinach (i guess fresh chopped spinach works good aswell =p)
Soy sauce to taste
1/4 cucumber, chopped in long, thin pieces
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped in long thin pieces
Fresh basil, chopped

Fry the carrot, onion and garlic in oil until soft, add chickpeas, spinach and soy sauce and stir for a couple of minutes. Take off the heat and add the cucumber, red bell pepper and basil and mix it. You can taste it if it's enough soy sauce, if not, then add more ^.^
Meanwhile heat/boil some water and soak the cabbage leafs for some minutes (maybe 5?) until they are soft.
Try to shake off the water from the cabbage leafs (or just dry them or let them dry) and place the mixture on it and roll it together and eat if they aren't too hot =p Njam njam njam =D

 

 

Enjoy ^.^
