- To flatten the leaves, carefully slice off the raised surface of the rough centre stem using a sharp knife. This method would make it simpler to roll them.
- Place about 2 tbsp of the mixture just over the cabbage leaf’s stem section.
- Roll it like a burrito, and stuff ends up in both. Repeat the same procedure with the other cabbage leaves.

- Cover your pot and cook covered for about 15 mins or until the filling is completely cooked.
- At half-time, check the rolls and note the amount of liquid. Add in any more reserved water if there is not much liquid left.
