Ingredients

1 1/2 green cabbage, or Savoy, coarsely chopped 1.5 kg
1 3/4 tsp butter, unsalted 8 g
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil 23 mL
1 1/2 onions, finely chopped 300 g
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup rice, long grain, uncooked 140 g
3/4 cup canned tomatoes (diced) 190 g
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 2 g
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 2 g
1/2 tbsp dried oregano 1 g
1/2 tbsp dried savory 2 g
2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed 3/4 lemon
750 g ground chicken
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1 1/2 cup tomato juice 375 mL
aluminum foil
12 slices bread, whole wheat 420 g

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Butter a baking dish, then line the bottom with a layer of chopped cabbage.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, then sauté 2-3 min until softened. Add the rice then cook, with stirring, until golden, about 3 min. Stir in the tomatoes, spices, herbs and lemon juice. Mix well, then add the chicken. Sauté over high heat, with stirring, until the chicken has lost its pink colour, 7-8 min. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place some of the mixture over the base layer of cabbage and top with another layer of cabbage. Repeat a few times, depending on the serving size and the shape of the baking dish. Pour the tomato juice on top, then cover with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake in the middle of the oven until very tender, about 1 h 30 min. Serve with the bread.
