Drain well and let cool. Set aside. Combine the uncooked rice, beef, pork, garlic, onion and bell pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add tomato paste and mix well to incorporate. Season with salt, cayenne pepper and allspice. Set aside. Gently separate cooked cabbage leaves, being careful not to tear them.

Tuck the ends of the cabbage leaves under to help prevent filling from falling out.
