Preparation

Step 1

Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in a large skillet. Add cabbage leaves, cover, reduce heat to medium-high and simmer about 5 min.

Bring 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for at least 5 min.

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, cook about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are mostly broken down, 8 to 10 min.

Stir in feta, olives and mint into the couscous. Roll about a 1/2 cup of coucous mixture into cabbage leaves.

Once tomato mixture is ready add cabbage rolls. Cover and cook for about 7 min. Serve cabbage rolls with tomato mixture on top. Add more fresh mint if desired
