Cut the leek into thin rings and knead with the ground meat and egg and season with salt, pepper and cumin. Spread the mixture on the cabbage leaves.
Fold the leaves inward from the sides and roll up. Tie the rolls with kitchen string. Peel the shallots. Heat oil in a pan and saute the cabbage rolls.
