Ingredients

Step cooking

1. The first thing to do is let the spinach in boiling water and boil the young cabbage a little. You need to do this separately, since spinach lasts 1 minute, and the cabbage needs to be held in the water a little longer. Pour about 1 liter of water into the pan, bring to a boil, dip the thoroughly washed spinach greens into the water and hold for 1 minute. After that we take out the spinach and immediately throw it back into a colander. If you want spinach to retain its fresh color, rinse immediately with cold water after you remove it.
   
2. In the same water we drop coarsely chopped young white cabbage. Very coarse parts are best avoided. After the water boils again, leave the cabbage for 5 minutes. Then take out the boiled cabbage and also recline in a colander.
   
3. Peel one small onion and 1-2 cloves of garlic. Next, proceed to the preparation of nut dressing. To do this, onion, garlic, walnuts, cilantro greens are passed through a meat grinder with a fine grill.
   
4. Add 1/3 tsp to the ground ingredients. Suneli hops, 1/3 tsp ground coriander, salt and pepper to taste. If desired, ground red pepper can be added. Add 1 tsp. wine vinegar and mix thoroughly.
   
5. After that, carefully squeeze the greens and also pass it through a meat grinder with a fine grill. Add scented greens to scrolled greens. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Then we try, and if necessary, add salt or seasonings.
   
6. Wet hands from the resulting mass form balls the size of a good walnut. In each we make a recess and lay out a few pomegranate seeds in it. If you have peanut butter, you can drip a few drops on each.
   
7. Phali is served as an independent dish for meat, fish, and also eaten with corn tortillas or pita bread. Enjoy your meal.
