Cabbage rolls stuffed with lentils, served with herb-fried potatoes (vegan)

Ingredients for approx. 4 people:

For the fried potatoes:
500 g potatoes
Whole sea salt
Rapeseed oil
Herb salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Smoked paprika powder
Chopped rosemary needles
Thyme
Marjoram
For the white cabbage rolls:
1 white cabbage
Whole sea salt
For the lentil filling:
200 g beluga lentils
1 clove of garlic
2 shallots
Rapeseed oil
Herb salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cumin
Marjoram
Curry powder
Paprika powder
A little tamari or shoyu
Sesame oil
A little turmeric gomasio
For the sauce:
3-4 tablespoons tamari or shoyu
2 teaspoons cornflour for the soy sauce
In addition:
A little vegetable margarine for greasing the baking dish
Sesame oil for brushing the cabbage rolls

Preparation:

1. For the herb-fried potatoes, scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush, wash them, peel them if necessary, and boil them in a little whole sea salt water until soft. Then drain, dry and slice them.
2. In the meantime, clean and wash the white cabbage and remove or cut off about 8-10 leaves. Cut the remaining cabbage in half, remove the stalk and finely chop or slice the remaining cabbage.
3. Blanch the 8-10 cabbage leaves in boiling water for a few minutes, drain and rinse with cold water. Cut the stalks off the cabbage leaves and leave to drain on a cloth.
4. Grease a flat baking dish with a little vegetable margarine.
5. For the lentil filling, rinse the Beluga lentils with cold water and cook until soft for 20-30 minutes. Then drain.
6. Peel the garlic, remove the germ and chop finely.
7. Peel and finely dice the shallots.
8. Sauté the shallots and finely chopped garlic in rapeseed oil in a pan. Then add the chopped white cabbage and cooked lentils and fry gently for a few minutes. Season with herb salt, freshly ground black pepper, cumin, marjoram, curry powder, paprika and a little tamari.
9. Place this lentil filling in the prepared white cabbage leaves. To do this, place 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the centre of each white cabbage leaf, fold in the sides and roll up carefully. Place them seam-side down in the greased baking dish. Brush each cabbage roll with a little sesame oil, sprinkle with turmeric gomasio and bake in the middle of the oven at 180 degrees C for about 10 minutes.
10. Slice the potatoes and fry in rapeseed oil in a deep pan until crispy. A few minutes before serving, season with herb salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika powder and chopped rosemary needles, thyme and marjoram, and fry briefly.
11. For the sauce, mix 2 teaspoons of cornflour with cold water in a saucepan, add a little tamari or shoyu, bring to the boil briefly and season with freshly ground black pepper.
12. To serve, brush a flat plate with a little tamari or shoyu, top with 1 or 2 cabbage rolls and the herb-fried potatoes, and add a little sauce to the rolls.

My tips:

The white cabbage leaves can also be replaced with other cabbage leaves, e.g. savoy cabbage, red cabbage, pointed cabbage.
Another variety of lentils is also suitable for the lentil filling, e.g. mountain lentils or Puy lentils.
If you don’t have any turmeric gomasio to hand, gomasio without turmeric seeds is also suitable, of course.

Product description:

Gomasio is an important part of Japanese and Korean food culture. It consists of goma (= sesame) and shio (= salt), which in our culture usually means sesame salt. Gomasio is made from roasted sesame seeds (traditionally black sesame) and whole sea salt. Outside Japan, it is usually made with light sesame seeds. Due to its spicy flavour and health benefits, this seasoning is gaining more and more fans. Turmeric seeds are also ground into turmeric gomasio.

7. Heat the rapeseed oil in a deep pan, sauté the diced shallots, then add the chopped garlic and chilli pepper with the garam masala and cumin and fry briefly.
8. Add the drained white beans and tomato sauce, mix well and fill a baking dish with the mixture, placing the feta cheese in the middle. Sprinkle the cheese with spices and place the baking dish in the middle of the oven. Bake at 180 degrees C for about 20 minutes.

10. Before serving, serve the cooked bean dish with the fried potatoes. If desired, you can top the cheese with herbs and dried tomatoes.

My Tips:

You can replace the white beans with another type of legume, e.g. kidney beans, scarlet runner beans, adzuki beans, etc.
If you have any jacket potatoes left over from the day before, use these. This will make the fried potatoes even crispier.

Product description:

White beans are a source of protein that can be eaten at any time of year. They are available dried or in tins/jars. However, the dried variety contains more nutrients and is also more aromatic. Of course, the beans need to be soaked overnight before they can be used. White beans are very versatile and can be used in salads, soups, purées or as antipasti. They are rich in nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus, and are above all an ideal source of protein.

With its characteristic cone shape, pointed cabbage is easy to tell apart from other types of cabbage. Whether sautéed, baked in the oven or eaten raw, pointed cabbage is very versatile.It is the earliest type of cabbage to be harvested each year. Pointed cabbage tastes particularly mild in spring and summer, but has a stronger flavour in autumn. Like all other types of cabbage, pointed cabbage is a very healthy vegetable, particularly rich in vitamin C.
