Thin the thick ribs of the collard leaves, blanch in boiling salted water until flexible, and drain.
Wash the bulgur and rice, then finely chop the onions and parsley.
Mix the bulgur, rice, onions, tomato paste, half of the olive oil, parsley, dried mint, red pepper flakes, and salt.
Place filling on each collard leaf, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
Line the bottom of the pot with a few leaves, arrange the rolls, and drizzle over the remaining olive oil.
Add the hot water and lemon juice, cover with a plate, and cook over low heat.
Rest the rolls for 10 minutes and serve warm.
💡 Tip: If the leaves are very large, cut them in half so the rolls cook more evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with lemon wedges and plain yogurt cucumber dip.
