HEALTHY STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS RECIPE



Healthy Stuffed Cabbage Rolls Recipe image

This recipe for healthy cabbage rolls uses cabbage leaves and a delicious stuffing made with ground beef, a mix of wild rice and long grain rice, fresh vegetables cooked in a tomato sauce with aromatic spices and herbs. Same stuffing can be used for an assortment of colored bell peppers. You can tweak the cabbage roll recipe to your liking and substitute the ingredients as you please. Here I'm using healthier ingredients, but feel free to adjust to your taste.

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large cabbage head (fresh)
4 fresh bell peppers (optional )
3/4 cup basmati rice (soaked)
3/4 cup wild rice (soaked)
1.5 lb ground beef (or other ground meat of your choice)
2 medium onions (chopped)
4-5 garlic cloves (minced)
1 crushed tomatoes (jar (18.3 oz))
3 large carrots (grated)
2 tsp Himalayan pink salt (or 1 tsp sea salt)
1 tsp black pepper (ground)
2 tsp coriander
2 tsp thyme
1 tsp mustard powder (or paste)
1 tsp paprika (optional, or smoked paprika)
2 tbsp olive oil (for sauteing)
1/3 cup parsley to garnish (chopped)
1 cup stock or broth (as extra liquid for baking (optional))

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a bowl and add water to soak overnight. If you don't have time, just rinse it several times until the water is clear and let it soak for at least an hour until you gather and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Slice out the core by cutting a deep cone-shaped incision so that the leaves could be easily detached. Submerge the entire cabbage head into a large pot with boiling water (for about 3-4 minutes). See video below for visual help.
  • Then, peel the leaves off, one at a time, while the cabbage is still submerged. Use tongs for convenience.Since I don't have pickled cabbage (that's what is preferred) I'm adding some vinegar to the boiling water to give it a little kick.
  • Prepare the bell peppers if you're using any: cut the core from the inside and strip away the seeds. Set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onions, garlic, carrots until lightly soft, add the spices and herbs, the beef. Add the soaked rice at the end and cook for 1-2 minutes. Leave the meat slightly uncooked.
  • Now you can add half of the crushed tomatoes to the mixture at this moment or add it later on top, after rolling the cabbage. Set aside to cool.
  • To stuff the cabbage leaves, lay down a single large leaf and place about a 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the filling in the lower third of the leave, fold the sides and roll (this way you'll get huge rolls).
  • If you prefer smaller rolls then cut the leaf in smaller parts, and use less filing (see video).In a large deep dish (I'm using a 3-quart round glass dish) place the stuffed cabbage rolls on the bottom, and continue by adding layers.
  • Pour the remaining half of the jar of crushed tomatoes on top. Alternatively use water and lemon juice or vegetable broth. Some try to add a lot of liquid so they are covered, but I found that this is not necessary as the steam fill circulate inside. Just add enough liquid to help the rice puff.
  • Cover with the remaining cabbage leaves to seal moisture and cover with a lid.
  • Bake for 2 hours at 370F or 190C. Or until the wild rice has puffed and is cracked open. (It has a longer cooking time than the regular rice).
  • Remove from the oven and allow to sit covered for 30 minutes before serving. It will continue to cook and build some flavor for the next day.

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS WITH BEEF AND CABBAGE



Stuffed Bell Peppers with Beef and Cabbage image

I never liked stuffed bell peppers until I ditched the green ones and bought some red, yellow, and orange 3-packs instead. Replacing traditional rice with cabbage adds another veggie and gives a different texture. They take a bit of time but are well worth the effort.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon salted butter
2 pounds lean ground beef
½ medium head green cabbage, chopped
½ medium head red cabbage, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 large red bell peppers
2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil the bottom and sides of two rectangular glass baking dishes.
  • Melt butter in a 4- to 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. Add ground beef, green and red cabbage, onion, celery, and garlic. Stir in diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper. Cook until beef starts to brown and cabbage softens a bit, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir, and continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the beef cooks, prepare bell peppers: remove stems and cut peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and white membrane. Rub outsides of the peppers with olive oil and arrange, skin-sides down like edible bowls, in the prepared baking dishes.
  • Strain beef mixture to remove excess liquid; scoop into peppers to fill and mound any extra on top or reserve for another use. Cover with foil.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until peppers have softened, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove foil, top with mozzarella and provolone, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
