It might require time to put together, but believe me it&#8217;s not difficult at all. I grew up eating it from my grandmother\u2019s and mom&#8217;s kitchen, it was an event when those stuffed cabbage rolls showed on our table. But I think it\u2019s 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\u2019t mess with perfection; one of my favorite succulent Lebanese foods and will warm up any family gathering, make it and you will be hooked! <strong>Watch the detailed video tutorial below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16970 size-full\" title=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/16.jpg\" alt=\"16\" width=\"700\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/16.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/16-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/16-640x823.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Ingredients needed to make malfouf mahshi:<\/h1>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14432 size-full\" title=\"a final\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a-final.jpg\" alt=\"a final\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a-final.jpg 900w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a-final-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a-final-768x597.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Meat:<\/strong> Use beef or lamb minced meat, or a mix of both. The minced meat and rice do not need to be precooked. They are mixed together with spices and ghee or oil to create the filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White Rice<\/strong>: Use short grain rice like Arborio or Egyptian rice, you can use Jasmine rice as well<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cabbage<\/strong>: Use regular green cabbages and avoid savoy or Napa cabbage; boil them in a large pot of water to make them tender. You need to cut 1\/2 inch off the head of cabbage, start by submerging the whole head of cabbage in a big pot of boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn it over about halfway through the cooking time. This helps the leaves become tender and more pliable for stuffing and rolling. It also helps keep the leaves from shredding when removed from the whole head.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dried Mint<\/strong>: is used in making malfouf mahshi instead of fresh because it doesn&#8217;t turn black, and its floral scent hold up better in long cooking. It is accessible at Mediterranean stores.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ghee or Olive Oi<\/strong>l: the fat agent to be added to the filling and to brown the lamb chops or beef oxtail chops before piling the cabbage rolls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lamb Chops or Beef Oxtail: <\/strong>The stuffed cabbage leaves (malfouf) could stand up wonderfully on their own without the addition of lamb chops or oxtail and still the result would be good; however, when paired with browned lamb chops or oxtail, the dish will be that special. Lamb chops or beef oxtail tend to be fatty, and add so much flavor to the cabbage rolls (malfouf), <strong>if you can&#8217;t find lamb chops or oxtail, the best substitute would be beef short ribs or beef neck<\/strong>; choose fresh meat with bright red color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Use whole peeled cloves, and throw them while lining the cabbage leaves in the pot, they impart so much flavor to the malfouf mahshi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> obviously for seasoning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sevenspice<\/strong>: A blend of seven spices available in Lebanese or Middle Eastern markets, they add flavor to stuffed foods, the best substitute would be allspice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White Pepper<\/strong>: My secret weapon in so many dishes, it adds a kick of umami flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon Juice<\/strong>: Use fresh lemon juice and avoid the ready bottled stuff. \u00a0Adding a splash of lemon juice can be transformative here. It <b>adds some acid, and b<\/b>rightens the dish, yes, it gives a contrast to the whole homogenized cooked malfouf mahshi. Add the lemon juice at the end of cooking to prevent a bitter taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Lebanese Cabbage Rolls are built on layers of flavors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14385 size-full\" title=\"mahshi 20\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-20.jpg\" alt=\"mahshi 20\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-20.jpg 900w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-20-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-20-768x597.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lebanese Cabbage Rolls are built on layers of flavors:<\/strong> Garlic, lemon, olive oil or ghee, salt and spices are the flavor boosters, they will take your pot of malfouf to the next level.<\/p>\n<h2>And Now Let&#8217;s Get started!<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14357 size-full\" title=\"mahshi 22\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22.jpg\" alt=\"mahshi 22\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22.jpg 900w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22-768x597.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>How do you get cabbage leaves off the head?<\/h1>\n<p><span data-slate-node=\"text\"><strong>Cabbage leaves are not bendy in their raw stage, so you have to boil them for a few minutes until they soften enough to stuff and roll.

A good technique is to remove one leaf at a time until you\u2019ve pulled all out. Leaves that are still hard should be kept in water for a few more minutes to soften, which will make it easier to roll; remove with a pair of tongue or a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14258 size-full\" title=\"0000000\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0000000.webp\" alt=\"0000000\" width=\"700\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0000000.webp 700w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0000000-233x300.webp 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>How to prepare the stuffing?<\/h1>\n<p>In a colander, rinse the rice under running cold water and rub with your hands to remove the excess starch as you can and drain.

cabbage core then submerge your cabbage head in a large pot of boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes until leaves are tender and pliable, and soft enough to roll, but not overly soft. A good technique is to remove one leaf at a time until you\u2019ve pulled all out. \u00a0 Leaves that are still hard should be kept in water for a few more minutes to soften, which will make it easier to roll. ; remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-media wprm-recipe-instruction-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22.jpg\" aria-label=\"Open larger version of the instruction image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"mahshi 22\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22.jpg 900w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/mahshi-22-768x597.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/div> <\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-14262-step-0-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>To prepare the stuffing<\/strong>: In a colander, rinse the rice under running cold water and rub with your hands to remove the excess starch as you can and drain.

Season with salt and dried mint.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-media wprm-recipe-instruction-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.jpg\" aria-label=\"Open larger version of the instruction image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"p\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p.jpg 900w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/p-768x597.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/div> <\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-14262-step-0-6\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Cook the pot of cabbage over high heat, lay a heavy plate face down over the layers to weigh down the cabbage rolls while they cook to keep them in place while water boils, once the water boils, cover the pot and reduce heat to medium- low, while the pot is simmering taste the liquid in the pot, you may need to add more salt and let it simmer for 2 hours.
