I'm used to Ashkenazi style cabbage rolls which are basically the way they are made in Germany. Lots of meat with a bit of rice. But my point of commenting is that if you freeze the head of cabbage, you will not need to boil it. Just defrost the head when you want to make the rolls and peel the leaves off. They will be soft and pliable.

@@daniby9894 The Hungarian version is called “káposzka”, and they’re so good. I usually make mine with venison since we always have a freezer of ground venison to use up and the dish doesn’t need a fatty meat like beef/pork/lamb since the acidic tomato sauce tenderizes the lean & gamey venison. I have to say, my Hungarian-Slavic heart grew three sizes when I saw that bundle of dill💀 It’s my all-time favorite herb but my family has never made káposzka with dill before so I’ll have to try it.

In Poland we have a similar dish called "Gołąbki"- it's basically a lot larger rolls with meat in the filling, cooked slowly in tomato sauce. The first time I tried making them it took me nearly the entire day, though it was quite a large amount (over 3kg of filling alone). The most time consuming part was rolling the individual rolls and placing them tightly in the pot. Preparing cabbage took longer, but I could just leave it for a while and do something else in the meantime. Then the cooking of the whole batch which took 5 hours for the whole pot. It's "low and slow" cooking so you can just leave the pot on small flame and just add in some water every hour or two so the stuff on top won't get dry.

It's a 'day off' recipe. If, however, a person does not always cater for large family, friendship or community groups, there needs to be an abridged version for one or two, particularly as the rolls are best eaten hot, not cold.

Just as a heads up, if you are doing a smaller amount the stems may not be enough to work as a sacrificial layer so either use a smaller pot or make sure to add a bit of the cabbage you won’t use (a bit of a tmi but in egypt we usually do stuffed zucchinis and other stuffed veggies on the side so we take the insides of the veggies and use them as the sacrificial layer)

Here's a small suggestion. Instead of carefully peeling the leaves off of the raw cabbage, remove the core (as you did) and put it into a large pasta pot of boiling water. Remove every 5 minutes or so and peel (much more easily) each leaf. Once you get to the uncooked part, put it back in boiling water and repeat. Great recipe BTW.

Deir Ezzor ma7ashi is slightly different than the ones made in Damascus and the rest of Syria. It contains more veggies and a stronger taste of lemon, garlic and tomatoes which I find it to be the best style in Syria in my point of view.

Hi I tried to make this and failed here's what happened so you don't make the same mistakes: -really wait for the liquids to naturally rise when cooking before adding broth, I got nervous at the 10 minute mark and added broth but that became wayyyy to much so never really evaporated. -take your time rolling. It was my first time so I was forgiving with my form and it came back to bite me later. -Don't be stingy on herbs and spices. I was a little short on both herbs and it doesn't nearly have enough flavor! I will try again since they look soooo good 🥲 but yeah best of luck

same for the water, but makes delicious soup!

Nice 👍 I look forward trying Egyptian 🇪🇬 Cabbage roll.

Heartfelt greetings from Istanbul! I am so craving for these at this minute, even though I have not tasted it before... Thanks for the wonderful and most appealing recipes...

This a must for our Christmas party however we make it with ground beef and a little ground lamb mixture and little fresh coriander and mint to go along with the parsley and dill Excellent job as always Obi . Greetings from Dallas Texas

Ohhhh I sooooo lovvvvvvvvveed this recipe! Am certainly going to try but probably with just just 8 to 10 rolls!

Made last night. AMAZING!

It's one of my favorite meals. In Turkey, we call it lahana sarması. We've the black version too I personaly don't like black cabbage it has a bitter taste. When serving, we add a little bit pomegranate syrup, they suit sooo well

Never thought of using the Black/Purple cabbages, I will try it

Looks so good, holy shit! Also I noticed there's a lot of flipping pots over plates in middle eastern food..

In most kitchens I've worked in, we tend to just run the cabbage leaves under a cold tap, until the water pressure naturally separates them. It also lubricates the finer pieces, preventing tearing. Also works beautifully with lettuce. Your use of example imagery, like your boiling pot timing, was both original and incredibly useful. Great video!

Thank you, you sent me back to my childhood helping my mum cook this dish, I even start to recall the raw smell of the recipe and trying to eat the Mahshi before been cooked.🌹🌹❤❤

Made these last week and froze half the batch. Absolutely delicious, very fresh, and totally addictive! This recipe is definitely going into rotation, thank you 🙏

Honestly, the patience to roll all of those is a lot, but it looks delicious
