Ingredients for Kale Rolls:

 
2 bunches of kale
½ kg rice
3 dried onions
1 bunch of parsley
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red pepper paste
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
Enough water
How to Make Kale Rolls:
 
Wash the kale leaves, blanch them in boiling water, and drain. In a pan, sauté the finely chopped dried onions in vegetable oil until they turn pink. Then add the red pepper paste and rice and continue sautéing. Add one cup of boiling water and simmer until the filling is absorbed. While the filling is simmering, add black pepper, red pepper flakes, and finely chopped parsley, mix well, and let it cool.
 
Take a small amount of the prepared filling and place it on the wider part of a kale leaf. Roll it up, closing both sides, arrange them in a pot, and drizzle with olive oil. To prevent the rolls from unraveling, cover with a plate of stuffed cabbage rolls. Finally, add enough water and cook.
 
Preparation time: 90 minutes. Serves 6-8.
