Ingredients
 
 

For the filling

For the Garlic yoghurt sauce

  • 1 clove garlic crushed in sea salt and finely chopped
  • 1 cup plain yoghurt
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt
  • Handful Superb Herb mint to serve

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to boil. Add a teaspoon of salt and wilt the cabbage leaves in batches for 30 seconds or so. Refresh the wilted leaves in a bowl of cold water. Drain and spread on a tray, ready for stuffing. Slice hard stalk of mini cabbage leaves off to make them flatter if any.
  • In a deep heavy bottomed saucepan, fry off the onion with paprika and chilli flakes with a dash of avocado oil for 1-2 minutes. Add the beef sausage meat and continue to fry until the sausage meat is all broken up and golden. Pour in the passata, give it a good stir, continue to cook for 5–10 minutes until the liquid is reduced. Mix in the cooked rice. Combine well and set aside.
  • To make the garlic yoghurt sauce, mix the yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic and mint. Season with salt.
  • Lay a leaf on a flat surface and place a spoonful of filling mixture at bottom end of the leaf, fold in the sides and then roll into a tight log. Repeat.
  • Arrange the cabbage rolls on a plate and serve with garlic yoghurt sauce.
