Boil the collard leaves for 2 minutes and drain.
Mix the rice, onion, tomato paste, olive oil, and salt to prepare the filling.
Roll the filling in the leaves, cook the rolls for 30 minutes, and serve with yogurt.
Leave one finger-width of space at the top while filling so the rice can swell without bursting the rolls.
Pour the hot water into the pot from the side and close the lid without moving the rolls.
💡 Tip: Blanch the collard leaves briefly; if they soften too much, they tear while rolling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with yogurt on the side.
