Ingredients




For the cabbage
1⁄2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
16 oz white cabbage (carefully remove outer leaves and wash)
For the filling
1 cup black beans
1 tbsp dried smoked paprika
1 tsp ground coriander
1⁄2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt
For the rice
1 cup brown rice
2 cups water
For the onion
1⁄2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
For the topping
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (roasted)
1 tbsp soy sauce

Preparation

1 Boil the rice in a big pot of water for about 25-30 minutes until soft. 2 Use a skillet and sauté the onions in the olive oil for about 5 minutes until golden brown. 3 Use a big bowl and mix half the rice with the filling ingredients and the onion. 4 To make the outer cabbage leaves soft boil them for about 5 minutes in water. 5 The rest of the cabbage can be chopped and sauteed for 5-10 minutes as a side dish or put into the mixture with the filling. 6 To stuff the cabbage leaves place about 1 TBS or more on the leaf and fold it, to make sure no filling comes out wrap it with twine. 7 Before serving fry the stuffed cabbage leaves in olive oil with the rest of the cabbage for about 5 minutes. 8 Put the stuffed leaves on a plate and sprinkle with the topping, serve the rest of the rice and cabbage as side dish.
