- BIG NOTE: I am not vegan! I just love getting creative with plants!
I am mega hyper in this episode because I am cooking one of my all time favorites - cabbage rolls!! I have always been in love with these, and today I made them meatless using Beyond Meat (spoiler - could not tell the difference.) These garlicky bites will melt in your mouth and are so light and easy on the stomach. I could easily have dominated the entire pot I just made. A worthwhile commitment to rolls these one afternoon and reap the rewards at the end.
A note: these are usually made using egyptian or short grain rice, but I didn't have any! And they turned out great with basmati. (#quarantinelife) Use whatever grain you have!
Enjoy and please let me know if you make these, sahtein my loves, xo

actually i like this lighting, its comforting to the eyes
I appreciate that you like it, my film brain can only see the lazy flaws & shadows because this was a one-man-show day :)
Agreed, I see Nadia's face as all as the food, much more clearly.
Agree. Gave the vid a very warm feel.
Egyptian here - so glad to find Falasteeni recipes. The best Middle Eastern cuisine, in my opinion! Also, very grateful for the plant-based options!!
This young lady just dives right in straight to the point. By far the best TH-cam video producer yet! Her pleasure in every step of the process makes everything flow. Wonderful talent! Bravo!
I actually made this with lentils and mushrooms, turned out fabulously.
that sounds amazing
This is the comment I needed to see.
Peanuts or walnuts would add some protein/good fat ompfe to this along with what you said too!
did you cook both lentil and mushroom before hand? and which lentil and mushroom did you use?
Give me the recipe plz lolll
Just found your channel and wanna say I'm obsessed with your videos and my partner and I are gonna make every vegan and veg thing you have a video on
Same
This may be my favorite food tutorial of all time. Man, how excited you look! I love the way you truly, dearly enjoy what you're doing! Can't wait to try this recipe, I've been craving cabbage lately! ;)
Sahtein habbibti. What a beautiful job you are doing teaching our recipes. Shookran.
Thank you for including vegan/vegetarian versions. Not being able to explore cuisine and all the culture tied up with food as easily had been a big pain point after transitioning to vegan. You're giving me an entry point to get to know Palestinian eating that I didn't have before.
Thank you, I always offer alternatives :)
and many of our dishes are plant based!
And thank you Nadia, was looking for this wonderful recipe..... and found it! and found you.. Thanks!! We love PALESTINE! ! ARGENTINA
Your enthusiasm is really infectious...........love your dish
I just want to say that I think you’re awesome. I followed yesterday and I’ve seen two recipes so far. As a person who loves to cook, I can say that your channel is an excellent resource making it simple for the culinary challenged. Great job, keep it going, thanks for sharing Falastini cuisine, and sahtain!
You are amazing, as always!! Love love love!!!
Hi Nadia, OMG my mouth is salivating. One of my favourites YUMMMM
I'm loving your videos! So happy I found your channel :)
These look awesome! Just nice simple fresh ingredients, you cant beat that!
Luv you!! Your energy is contagious!
Love this, I am definitely making this tonight. :) Please bring us more of your wonderful recipes.
Made these this weekend and it will be in our rotation going forward. Loved them. Also had lots of filling left so we did "dirty rice" the next day and it was so yummy! Thank you for sharing!!
Your videos are not only informative and interesting, they're also very well made and fun to watch.
You are lovely as well :)
My mom makes them almost exactly like you -- it really is a labor of love and you can taste that. The garlic between the layers make it so yummy, we also add tomatoes in between. I miss this dish, thank you for putting this out on the universe.
Thank you very much, my lebanese grandma used to make Malfoof almost every sunday when I was younger. I had forgotten this meal.But now I want to make it and since I am a vegetarian now, I will try your way :)
I love you positivity. Kepp the videos coming Nadia.
Thank you, this looks amazing And I love your kitchen!
This looks amazing. I just found your channel and I’m hooked!
Excellent! Nice twist on the vegetarian version. Keep it up!
Definitely worth a try , I've tried a lot versions but this mix is new .
I always loved these more than grape leaves. Interesting vegetarian version. I'll have to try it!
I am Absolutely elated that I found your videos! Great food!!
I like that you are so passionate about what you do, you deserve your own show, and I like your little dance
Love your channel. Thanks
Love these. Thank you!
Good food, good cooking, Thank you, was fun watching
Thank you, Thank you for a Vegan version--Can't Wait to Make It!!!!! Love u
Thank you dear for the vegan version, never thought of it. Love
Yees!! I love this!
This looks so yummy, can't wait to try it.
Looks delicious!
I just found this channel but I'm like binging all these amazing recipes. I need to craft a spice blend now lol.
I made this with the following modifications- used crumbled up veggie burgers for the protein, sautéed onions green peppers and assorted mixed veggies for the stuffing. Also, because there was no rice to cook, I only cooked it for half hour. The remaining cabbage pieces and all the stuffing that escaped were sitting in the water - and made a really good veggie soup. Also, because there was water left over, I had to fish the stuffed cabbage leaves out one by one. Excellent recipe - even a really bad cook like me ended up making stuff that was super delicious
Looks great and I can almost smell all the garlic. :)) I will try making these, when my tummy hasn't got a stommach bug. :(( Greets from Germany! Keep it up!
Awesome food . Thank you '
Made them tonight - yum!
I make this with TVP mince. The same ingredients except for cumin and seven spices so thanks for the tip. And also for how to soften the leaves. I add some raisins that add a kind of nice sweetness to it. Not authentic Arabic but with a Greek influence. Yum!
This looks amazing
It looks delicious!! My teta stuffs the “djadje” the core of the cabbage! At home we sprinkle lemon juice, dry mint and garlic on each plate of malfouf.
First time I watched your presentation today. Liked your lucid way of explaining for preparation. Being vegetarian from India, shall try with chickpeas.
Looks yummy😋!
Lentils would be so tasty in this! Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi fellow Nadia, just found your channel looking for an authentic ful mudammas recipe, and ended up watching a few others including this one :).
I have never eaten these with fresh cabbage, in Bulgaria we often make dolma like that with fermented cabbage leaves (sourkraut style) but I will definately try out your Palestinian version xx
Ah wow, I usually eat them with fresh cabbages, but using fermented cabbages actually sounds really delicious
I love your Channel!
This looks fantastic! I want to try it with impossible.
I LOOOVE ALL Middle Eastern food. SO healthy, flavorful, inventive and - most importantly - DELICIOUS!!!!! Thank you for sharing such great content. I want to travel to Jordan and Lebanon, as soon as the restrictions ease. Alsalam ealaykum
"...a little bit of lemon juice..." my favourite part of every dish
So stuffed cabbage the way we make it is with a sweet tomato sauce and usually fatter rolls. You mention using caraway seeds which we do as well. The rolls you made here are great for me to try as my husband is vegan and they look delicious. I'm going to try your technique for loosening the cabbage leaves from the base; looks easy.
Yus please More vegan recipes 😋 😍 youre amazing
Yummmm def making this asap
Its crazy how similar is with greek cuisine. In Greece we do almost exactly the same recipe, Lahanodolmades, all the steps, the boiling with the cross, the staffing, a bit different rolling, and than cooking with cabagge leaves on the bottom and a plate on the top. The greatest difference would be that at the end we use a lemon-egg sauce. In the vegan version that I am doing i use baking flower and tahini instead of egg and it works fine. I like your "dry" version too though as I feel is more practical for parties and staff. Thank you for the video and thanks for the recipe
Greek and Middle Eastern cuisines are very similar.
That's because of the ottoman empire. They got inspired by the arabic food and brought them to greece, that's why there is baklava, dolma, and many other dishes from Turkey and middle East in Greece and Albania and Croatia.
@@carlacarla6021 absolutely
Greek and Arab cuisines are heavily influenced by Turkish cuisine, dating back to the glory days of the Ottoman Empire (I am Palestinian, not Turkish). Turkish cuisine was also influenced by Arab cuisine.
recently found your channel, I love your energy and the vibes youre creating. You have this energetic aura, really infectious :) :) Will try this out tomorrow! Do you think this would work with chinese cabbage as well?
They do the same dish in Croatia but they cook the rolls in mashed tomatoes, or tomatoesauce and they stick a few cloves into the sause, between the rolls and it is so tasty. I use brown rice, mixed with white rice, preferably round. Organic round rice is the healthiest. To make sure it gets soft, when cooking rice and especially brown rice, add salt only after it has cooked fr a while or it hinders water from entering the rice. If you like to be healthier, use Corning Vision stove top skillets in glass. No metal, no teflon, no aluminium.
That looks like a meal I’d love. I’m a cabbage freak.
Many years ago I saw a Julia/Jacque PBS show where she removed the cabbage core,froze the entire head,then defrosted it.
Leaves completely tender! Easy peasy.
Awesome
An international cuisine veganised ? Signed up as soon as i saw it on my feed! Cant wait to consume your content! And try em all :)
I love the way you put the whole cabbage into the boiling water to loosen the leaves. So efficient. I've always done it the "stupid" way of meticulously peeling the leaves off the raw cabbage.
some people have told me this method is harder but honestly I think this makes it so much easier
Thanks for sharing
A mixture of mushrooms and lentils makes an awesome ground meat replacement too. Adding walnuts? Even better. Chopped soy curls are my favorite.
I just discovered your channel.. and I am just binge watching your videos cuz they are sooo amazing ... #subbed.. sending respect from India
Can’t wait to make this! I’ve only ever rolled grape leaves.
These are similar! Perhaps a bit less time consuming, and they don't need to cook for many hours - Let me know how they go!
Lebanese here- we have this too and it's so good.
Love u‘r channel and amazing videos, u made cooking 🥘 seems to be soo easy,
It is so easy and accessible, I promise! Just takes trusting yourself and giving yourself the time to execute :)
Nadia! Hey, totally just made these and they turned out bomb AF. Added feta cheese and thought it was a nice addition in conjunction to what you have going on. At any rate, awesome channel, love your style, and I'd say keep it up.
Thank you Tyler! Alf alf sahtein! :)
@@NadiaGilbert Thank you! Hey, I've watched the vast majority of your cooking segments. When do I/ we get to watch a new recipe? I also wanted to ask your thoughts on the current conflict in your country of origin, understandably it can be a tough topic of discussion and didn't want to seem too intrusive, just perspective from your point of view.
This looks so good 😋 but since you love dry mint, try adding some ( a lot 😉), with a generous drizzle of pomegranate molasse and you will have malfouf a la lebanese 👌 also very delicious 😊
I loved it, reminds me my hishbina.
Thank you
I love your cooking MashAllah ❤️❤️❤️new sub from New Zealand 🇳🇿❤️🌷
Welcome! Sahtein :)
Hi Nadia. This looks so nice and I want to make this for my family. I was wondering if you could share what is in the seven spice mixture? Can you maybe do a video on spices and mixtures from Palestine? Thank you for sharing this. Peace and love. ☮️💕
Cute and sassy.. I like
I love them
Yummm!
I like how her "effortless" cabbage leaf removal process is actually way more complicated than ripping the leafs off and throwing them into boiling water 😆
It’s exactly the way my mother does it. There must be a reason for that?
@@judithbraun4854 I'm sure there is tbh. Re-reading my comment tho, I feel I come off as more hostile about cabbage leaves than I actually am. 😄 My bad.
You are so flippin adorable!!
You are so inpiring :) thanks
Love your videos and energy, so I really hope you make more soon! I had a Palestinian friend growing up as a kid, and it was always a delicious adventure to eat the food his family made. I still have some contact with him, so this inspires me to arrange visiting him again. ^^
Kind regards from Norway!
I will make it but I might bake it in the oven and just in layers rather than rolls ( big fam )Can't wait to try it.
That sounds like a great idea!!! :)
New to your channel- you are awesome
In Poland we have the same dish, it's called 'gołąbki' - 'little pigeons', I don't know why 😂 we make them with variety of fillings, for example rice&meat, rice&mushrooms, millet&potatoes etc.
5:35 ff...... so psycho! Love it!
thank you for sharing :)
You make me smile.
Will the malfoof taste good if I prepare them ahead of time and freeze them without cooking? I would cook them the day of the party. Thank you! I love watching you and all of your energy and excitement.
I would like to have the recipe (printing) so I can make it in the future.
Hello. Love, love, love your channel. I have a list of recipes that I’m going to try. When you said 7 spices, what exactly are they and would you care to share your own recipe? Thank you for sharing your yummy recipes.
In Poland, we call this dish, Pigeon (Pork and rice wrapped in cabbage leaves), and serve it with tomato sauce. The Palestinian version looks inviting. I will definitely try
You're so pretty and i love your recipe
Pro tip: The cabbage mahhshi rolls are delicious the next day fried in ghee, one layer of rolls at a time, in a frying pan. Growing up in Egypt, my dad would always make sure to ask my my mom to make extra, so that we left some of the mahhshi for the next day to fry up. Delicious!
Thank you for using beyond meat. We don't get it here but this recipe turned out great with TVP
First of all: thanks!
My family makes a version of this with lamb or veal and tomato sauce because somebody married a greek lady and she brought it to our household.
Then, I met this Russian/Polish guy who makes them too and he taught me some other variations...
Finally, I married a vegetarian 😳 but I was not going to give up one of my favourite dishes ever, and since I hate any kind of "substitutes" like fake meat or fake milk... I tried chopped fried eggplant instead of fake meat... it cannot be more delicious!
I am sure your version without tomato sauce and lemon juice will be delicious with my eggplant version. I will try it and report.
Thanks again, greetings from Austria.
Je viens de vous découvrir ❤️❤️😋😋😋😋
Mont Tremblant ..province de Québec ..way way UP North
Tu es magnifique et tellement Drôle
Well it turns out I have hella garlic and a whole head of cabbage. Rice is a given... and I may have some chickpeas. Ok! I’m making this tomorrow!! Thanks for the inspiration
Dammit this looks so absolutely good and I could smell it all the way here 🥰 as I am vegetarian I was pleased to see that it also tastes very good with a meat alternative 👌Thank you for the recipe and many greetings from Lake Constance in southern Germany 🌊 Namaste 🙏🕉🙏
Okay ... where might I track down that marvelous white spice grinder you used for the cumin? I really need one.
