Malfouf—one of those dishes that always feels like home. 🇵🇸🤍

Palestinian Malfouf (Stuffed Cabbage)

Ingredients

For the cabbage:

* Green flat cabbage

For the stuffing:

* Short-grain rice, washed, soaked, and drained
* Sirloin steak, hand-cut into very small pieces (you can also use ground beef, but I prefer hand-cut beef)
* Green onions, chopped
* Tomatoes, chopped
* Parsley, chopped
* Garlic, minced
* Olive oil
* Salt
* Black pepper
* Allspice
* Seven spice
* Ma7ashi spices

* Olive oil
* Water
* Beef or lamb pieces for the bottom (optional—I prefer it without)

Every Palestinian recipe I share carries a piece of my mother’s hands. She taught us that cooking isn’t just about food—it’s about preserving our heritage, one dish at a time. 🇵🇸🤍

Enjoy!
