Stuffed cabbage rolls with feta and squash
Background
These stuffed cabbage rolls with feta and squash go really well with roast meat (particularly lamb or chicken) - but they can also be served as a main vegetarian dish. They'reΒ tender and slightly spicedΒ - and absolutely delicious, perfect for a special dinner or a relaxed supper.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small butternut squash
- 2 carrots
- 1 leek
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 50g feta cheese
- 2 Tbsp chopped dill
- 1.5 Tbsp cumin seeds
- couple of pinches of cayenne pepper
- 8-10 savoy cabbage leaves
- 200 ml vegetable stock
Instructions
- Peel and chop the carrots. Peel, deseed and cube the squash. Slice the leek, finely chop the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the squash, carrots, leek and garlic for about 30 minutes until they're softened, stirring occasionally. Add a drop of water if it starts to catch.
- Let the mixture cool, then crumble in the feta, add dill, cumin seeds and cayenne pepper, and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the hard part of the stem of the cabbage leaves. Blanch them in lightly salted water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.
- Put a large spoonful of the mixture onto a cabbage leaf, then turn two sides in and roll it up to create a little parcel. Repeat this process with the other leaves.
- Put the rolls closely next to each other in a large, shallow saucepan. Pour over the stock, and simmer gently for 10 minutes under cover.
- Serve warm.
