Turkish Cabbage Rolls (Lahana Sarması) with Spiced Lentil & Herb Filling
Method
Blanch Leaves: Soften cabbage leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes, then refresh in cold water.
Mix Filling: Combine the lentils, pea protein powder, minced onion, cumin, and half the tomato purée.
Roll Wraps: Place filling on each leaf, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
Simmer Rolls: Pack into a pan with stock and remaining purée, then simmer covered for 25 minutes.
Chef's Tip
Nutritional Insight: Soluble lentil fibres combine with clean plant protein to flatten glucose curves and optimize gut-led satiety signaling. Culinary Hack: Weigh down the arranged rolls with three ceramic plates before pouring in stock to prevent them unravelling
