About Mehchi malfouf

Mehchi Malfouf, also known as stuffed cabbage rolls, is a popular Middle Eastern dish with roots in Lebanese and Syrian cuisine. It features tender cabbage leaves wrapped around a flavorful mixture of ground meat (usually beef or lamb), rice, onions, and aromatic spices such as cinnamon and allspice. The rolls are slow-cooked in a tomato-based sauce, often with lemon juice for added tanginess. Mehchi Malfouf is rich in protein from the meat and fiber from the cabbage, making it a filling and nutritious dish. Cabbage also provides vitamins C and K, while the rice contributes energy-boosting carbohydrates. However, the dish can be calorie-intense if prepared with fatty meats or excessive oil. For a healthier version, lean meat and brown rice can be used. Perfectly balancing taste and nutrition, Mehchi Malfouf is a hearty dish celebrated for its comforting flavors and wholesome ingredients.
