Cabbage Rolls with Chickpeas, Rice and Minced Meat

by Editorial Staff

Stuffed cabbage rolls with chickpeas, rice and minced meat are perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner. The dish turns out to be juicy, aromatic and very appetizing. In these stuffed cabbage rolls, the usual filling of meat and rice is also supplemented with chickpeas, and they need to be rolled up in a cone, not an envelope. The dish is not fried, but stewed in a pan or cauldron, which minimizes its fat content. Cooking is not difficult at all, but it will be interesting to please the family with the novelty of a seemingly familiar dish.
