Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

500 g beef mince
2 T spice mix of your choice (harissa blend, garam masala or chimichurri blend)
1 T garlic powder or garlic flakes
1 T onion powder or onion flakes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
70 g breadcrumbs
1 small cabbage, leaves separated
1 x 400 g can Woolworths tomato-and-onion braai relish
yellow rice, for serving
butter, for serving

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, combine the mince, spice mix, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper.

2. Add the breadcrumbs and combine, then set aside.

3. Place a few cabbage leaves at a time in a large saucepan of boiling water and blanch for a few seconds until the leaves become pliable. Remove from the water and repeat with the remaining leaves.

4. Shape the mince into equally sized balls, then wrap each ball in a cabbage leaf. Pour the braai relish into a baking dish, then tightly pack in the cabbage-wrapped mince.

5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cabbage leaves are slightly charred, the sauce is bubbling and the meatballs are cooked through.

6. Serve the dish over steamed yellow rice seasoned with a little butter to add extra richness.

Cook's tip: According to our TikTok audience, this dish is also commonly cooked in a brown sauce made with beef stock. Other users suggested serving it with cucumber in vinegar and a variation with sago added into the sauce.
