Translation by Lady Brighid ni Chiarain
Take large cabbage leaves of those which have the big, wide stalk, and
remove that stalk from them, and wither the leaves with hot water, and put
one leaf on top of another, which will be three in all, sprinkled with
cheese, and have prepared a composition of walnuts pounded in the mortar
with a few peeled almonds, and a point of garlic, and a crustless bread
soaked in broth, and all being well soaked, add mint and marjoram, and
chopped parsley, pepper, cinnamon, and saffron, a good quantity, and raw
eggs, and  raisins, and put the composition on the last leaf and wrap it in
the other two leaves, and fasten it, and make it in the form of a ball, and
cook it with fatty meat  broth with stuffing, and being cooked remove it
from the broth, detach the thread and serve it with the stuffing.

marjoram, parsley, pepper and salt in a food processor. Then add the 1/2 C

cabbage leaves until pliable. Use a sharp knife to cut the rib flush to the
surface of each leaf. Layer three leaves in a pile, make a total of four
piles. Place 1/2 C of stuffing on each pile and then roll in the top two
leaves. Turn the bundle so that it is seam down on the third leaf and then
fold in one side and both ends finally rolling with the final side. Fasten

pressed up against one another. Bring stock to a boil and then add to the
