3. For the stuffed mixture, in a bowl: place the grounded meat, rice (washed and drained), and spices/salt. Mix!

Note: if the grounded meat has no fat and it's very lean, then add 2 tablespoons of canola oil.

4. Look at our grape leaves recipe to see how to stuff them, and prepare for cooking it's very similar!

5. For the sauce in this recipe, in a large pot place one whole garlic at the bottom of the pot. Place the stuffed cabbage. Then at water until it reaches where the cabbage reaches in the pot.
