A practical dish of ground beef and rice wrapped in spinach leaves and cooked in a pressure cooker. It can also be served cold, making it suitable for a lunch box, and it comes together with just a few ingredients.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Leaves

5 min

Trim the stems from the spinach leaves, blanch them in boiling water for a few seconds, drain, and transfer to cold water.

2

Make the Filling

10 min

Knead together the ground beef, rice, grated onion, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper.

3

Roll

15 min

Place one 5 ml measure of filling on each leaf and roll it tightly. Arrange the rolls snugly in a pressure cooker.

4

Cook in the Pressure Cooker

20 min

Add the hot water and cooking oil, then close the lid. Once it comes to a boil, cook over low heat for 20 minutes.

Reminder

Blanch the leaves for only a few seconds; if boiled too long, they tear easily when rolled. The rolls keep their flavor after cooling, so you can make them 1 day ahead and pack them in a lunch box.

Salça bende yoktu, yerine iki kaşık domates rendesi kullandım; harç beklediğimden biraz daha sulu oldu ama düdüklü tencerede 20 dakikada yine de güzel toplandı, sarma dağılmadı.
