Step 1

Malanga leaves (about 8-10 large leaves)

Step 2

1 cup cooked rice

Step 3

1/2 cup ground meat (beef, pork, or a meat substitute for a vegetarian option)

Step 4

1 small onion, finely chopped

Step 5

2 cloves garlic, minced

Step 6

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

Step 7

Salt and pepper to taste

Step 8

1 tablespoon olive oil

Step 9

1 cup tomato sauce

Step 10

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Step 11

Grated cheese (optional)

Step 12

Wash and trim the malanga leaves, removing any tough stems.

Step 13

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become translucent.

Step 14

Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook until it's browned and cooked through. If using a meat substitute, follow the package instructions.

Step 15

Stir in the cooked rice, cumin powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 16

Place a malanga leaf on a clean surface and spoon some of the rice and meat mixture onto the center of the leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and then roll it up like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 17

In a separate saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

Step 18

Carefully place the stuffed malanga leaves into the tomato sauce mixture. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the malanga leaves are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 19

If desired, sprinkle grated cheese on top of the stuffed rolls and cover until the cheese melts.

Step 20

Serve the stuffed malanga leaves with the tomato sauce on top. You can also garnish with fresh herbs or additional grated cheese.

Step 21

Enjoy your Malanga Leaf Stuffed Rolls!
