Make the filling a day ahead and refrigerate it, then you&#8217;ll only need to soften and roll the cabbage when you&#8217;re ready to cook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are a few ways to soften cabbage leaves for rolling: boiling (below), freezing the whole cabbage overnight then thawing, or microwaving it whole in a covered dish for about 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trim or shave down the thick center stem of each leaf so it rolls easily without tearing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save any leftover chopped cabbage to line the bottom of the pot, it keeps the rolls from sticking and burning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leftover filling? Tuck it into the gaps between the rolled cabbage in the pot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_2702.jpg\" alt=\"Bowl filled with freekeh, dried fruits, and pine nut stuffing mixture\" class=\"wp-image-2374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_2702.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_2702-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>erve warm as a main dish, with extra sauce spooned over the top<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great alongside a simple green salad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perfect for a holiday table or potluck, it reheats beautifully<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_2726.jpg\" alt=\"Stuffing a cabbage leaf with the freekeh mixture\" class=\"wp-image-2376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_2726.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_2726-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s the best way to soften cabbage leaves?<\/strong> Boiling works well, but you can also freeze the whole cabbage overnight and let it thaw (the leaves soften and separate easily), or microwave it whole in a covered dish for about 10 minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What is baharat, and what can I use instead?<\/strong> Baharat is a Middle Eastern spice blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cumin, coriander, and cardamom.
