Instructions

  1. 1 Combine ground beef, 2 1/2 cans of tomato paste, parsley, green onion, butter, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. 2 Before adding uncooked rice, rinse until water runs clear; this keeps the rice from becoming sticky. Add rice after rinsing and mix contents until blended well.
  3. 3 Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add cabbage. Boil until just tender enough to fold, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, hollow out bell peppers, eggplants, and zucchini.
  5. 5 Stuff hollowed vegetables with meat mixture. Set in a large pot (pack vegetables together so there isn't much room in between them). Fill cabbage leaves with 3 to 4 tablespoons of leftover meat mixture and set in the pot with the other vegetables. Pour water in the pot on top of the vegetables until almost covered. Stir in remaining tomato paste. Weigh down the food by placing a heavy, heat-proof plate on top.
  6. 6 Bring water to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cover the pot. Let cook for 1 hour. Drain half of the water in the pot (leave heavy plate until done cooking) and recover, reducing heat to a simmer, and allow to slow cook for 1 hour more. Serve warm and enjoy!

  1. 1 Place water, onion, garlic, cinnamon, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and pepper in a large pot; bring to the boil. Add lamb; reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Separate lamb from liquid and set aside. Transfer the liquid to a bowl.
  2. 2 Heat cooking oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add eggplant slices in a single layer and cook in the hot oil until brown on both sides; remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Use the same procedure to fry zucchini slices, cauliflower, and broccoli.
  3. 3 Layer lamb in the bottom of the large pot. Arrange eggplant, zucchini, broccoli, and cauliflower on top of the lamb in layers. Pour rice over meat and vegetables, shaking the pot gently to allow rice to settle into the dish. Pour reserved cooking liquid from lamb over the mixture until it is completely covered. Add water if needed.
  4. 4 Cover the pot and simmer over low heat until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the lid from the pot. Place a large platter over the pot and flip the pot so the dish is "upside down" on the platter. Serve with yogurt on the side.

  2. 2 Combine zucchini and sugar in a large pot over medium heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture begins to boil, about 10 minutes. Stir in gelatin and lemon juice; continue simmering, 5 minutes more, stirring constantly.
  3. 3 Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼-inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove jars from the stockpot; cool, spaced several inches apart, to room temperature, 4 hours or longer. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal.
