If you ask me what the ultimate Turkish comfort food is, my answer will always be lahana sarması. Tender cabbage leaves stuffed with a delicious mixture of minced meat, rice, bulgur, tomatoes, onions and spices, slowly cooked in a tomato sauce and served with plenty of yoghurt. Honestly, nothing beats it!

This Palestinian corn, bean and green cabbage soup is called shorbet dhura oo malfoof, and the recipe I'm making comes from Sami Tamimi's cookbook Boustany. This post is a little different from the recipes I usually share here.
