Malfouf Mahshi is a very special dish! Malfouf (Stuffed Cabbage rolls) is a dish that every Lebanese and Middle Eastern family makes. It might require time to put together, but believe me it’s not difficult at all. I grew up eating it from my grandmother’s and mom’s kitchen, it was an event when those stuffed cabbage rolls showed on our table. But I think it’s it also because I associate them with family meals and happy memories. I kept the recipe just the way my mama and granny made it, no tweaking, because you don’t mess with perfection; one of my favorite succulent Lebanese foods and will warm up any family gathering, make it and you will be hooked!
