Day 5 of the month of Ramadan

Cabbage Rolls

1 cabbage
8 cloves garlic, smashed
Dried mint
1/4 cup lemon juice

Filling
1 1/2 cups long-grained rice, washed and parboiled
400g minced lamb or beef
1 t fresh black pepper
1 t ground allspice
±3 t salt
±1/2 T butter

Remove the core of the cabbage by cutting as deep as possible into it. Place the cabbage in a large pot, hollowed out section down and pour boiling water over. Bring back to the boil and simmer for ±7 minutes. Drain and then carefully peel away the leaves, placing them in a colander to drain.
Set 4 or 5 of the outside leaves aside to line the bottom of the pot. Spread the other leaves on a chopping board, removing the tough centre stalks and trimming into ±8 x 11cm rectangles.

Filling

Place all the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Line the bottom of a large pot with the reserved whole leaves
Place 1 small T of filling along the top quarter of a cabbage leaf allowing a little space on each side and then roll up into a tight cigar, folding in the sides.
Once rolled, place into the prepared pot, seam side down. Continue until all the mixture is used up. Stuff any gaps with cloves of garlic. Sprinkle with mint and lemon juice
Place any leftover bones on top, then place a plate on top of the bones, to hold the rolls in place, cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 1 hour.

Hadith

Narrated Abu Huraira: A Bedouin came to the Prophet and said, "Tell me of such a deed as will make me enter Paradise, if I do it." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Worship Allah, and worship none along with Him, offer the (five) prescribed compulsory prayers perfectly, pay the compulsory Zakat, and fast the month of ramadan." The Bedouin said, "By Him, in Whose Hands my life is, I will not do more than this." When he (the Bedouin) left, the Prophet said, "Whoever likes to see a man of Paradise, then he may look at this man." (Book #23, Hadith #480)
