About Meshi malfouf

Meshi Malfouf, also known as stuffed cabbage rolls, is a beloved dish rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in Lebanon, Syria, and surrounding regions. This hearty meal consists of tender cabbage leaves wrapped around a flavorful filling, which typically includes a mixture of rice, minced meat (such as lamb or beef), and a blend of aromatic spices like cinnamon, allspice, and garlic. Cooked in a tangy tomato-based sauce, Meshi Malfouf is both comforting and nutrient-rich. Cabbage is low in calories and packed with vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. The dish provides protein from the meat and complex carbohydrates from the rice. However, the overall calorie and fat content can vary depending on portions and the amount of oil or meat used. A lighter, vegetarian version can be made by substituting the meat with lentils or chickpeas, enhancing its heart-healthy qualities.
