    'Hearty' Stuffed cabbage rolls

    Lamb hearts are a fantastic ingredient, no organ flavour to them at all just pure lamby goodness and this turned out really well.

    Ingredients:
    1 cabbage
    6 lamb hearts
    2 tsps of cinnamon
    2 tbsp of cumin
    1 large onion, finely chopped
    2 large cloves of garlic
    1 large tin of crushed tomatoes
    Chicken stock
    Salt & pepper
    Butter
    1 egg
    Parsley
    2 bay leaves
    1 tbsp tomato paste
    1/2 cup brown rice, cooked (or 1/8 cup of uncooked white rice but the brown rice is so much nicer in this)

    Sweat the onions on a low heat with 75g of butter and a pinch of salt until softened and translucent.
    Cut the tubes out of the hearts and whack them in a food processor or grinder until well ground.
    Add the onions, spices, parsley, egg, garlic and rice. Place in the fridge.

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the whole cabbage (remove the core first) as each layer of leaves become soft remove them and set them aside until you have at least 6-8 large leaves.

    Form logs out of the mixture and place it at the base of a cabbage leaf, wrap it tightly with the leaf like a burrito and place them in a large dutch oven.
    Add the tomato paste, can of tomatoes and enough chicken stock to just cover the rolls. Add your bayleaf and cook for an hour and a half at 180 degrees with the lid on.

    Serve on rice or with mashed spuds.

    This is seriously good and makes a ton of rolls and considering that lamb hearts cost about 50 cents each it's also very economical too.
    Really nice on cold evenings.

    Good timing Angus. Helped a mate out with a lamb this weekend, and got heart (for me), kidneys and liver (for the mrs).

    Definitely going to try your version, will let you know

    Angus, we made your recipe tonight. I've been collecting lambs hearts from helping Kiwi39 butcher lambs over the last month. Very nice mate !

    The mince will be awesome in spagbol as well, I'm thinking with some chopped up chicken livers and bacon bits...
