1 medium onion (chopped)
salt and black pepper to taste
1/8 tsp. of Gersamé Spice™(combination of mace, cloves, garlic powder, and ginger powder)

2 tbsp. of oil
1/2 of a medium onion (chopped)

KOHLROULADEN:
1. In a bowl, mix the ground beef.
2. Add in the green chili, chopped onions, Gersamé Spice™, salt and pepper to the ground beef.
3. Depending on how large the cabbage leaves are, make 4-6 balls of ground beef. These should be medium size relative to the cabbage leaves.
4. In a large pot, boil water with a table spoon of salt.
5. Once boiling. lower the heat and place cabbage inside. Turn the cabbage continuously. At the same time, remove each layer, one by one. You should have 3-4 leaves for each meatball.

7. Use toothpicks wherever needed to hold the shape together. If you don't have toothpicks, an alternative is butter.
8. Take a pan and fry them until brown. Keep aside.
