4. Add vegetable stock and cover with tinfoil.

5. Gently cook till tender.

6. Remove cabbage and reduce stock.

7. Place blanched cabbage leaves on tinfoil.

8. Place 2 pieces of fully cooked cabbage inverted on the leaves (stems removed and squeezed, lightly seasoned with Maldon salt).

9. Roll tightly. Refrigerate.

10. Allow butter to soften.

11. Combine all ingredients.

12. Refrigerate.

13. On order make the sauce by mixing zaatar and truffle butter with cabbage cooking liquid.

14. Roughly chop all the vegetables and place in large stockpot.

15. Cover with 20 liters of cold water.

16. Bring to boil for 10 minutes.

17. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for another 10 minutes.

18. Remove from heat and cover.

19. Once cold strain through chinois.

20. Refrigerate.

21. Fried for the cabbage dolma, we put the rolled dolma in the grill, along with the aluminum foil, and keep it there until it gets a chargrilled flavor as well as a grilled color.

22. Once the desired color is attained, we remove the aluminum foil, and then cut it into 4 equal roundels. We then top it with toasted sesame seeds and with the zaatar truffle butter on the side serve it.
