Categories     Dinner

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
28 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 lb ground beef
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ cup white rice, uncooked medium grain
1 green cabbage, core removed
sour cream, for serving
fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering, then cook the garlic until fragrant, for 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in the crushed tomato, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, rice, and 1 cup (260 G) of tomato sauce. Mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cabbage, cut side down. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the cabbage to a cutting board, cut side up, and let cool until it reaches room temperature.
  • Peel off a layer of the cabbage. With the stem facing upwards, use a paring knife to trim the thicker stem, which will make the leaf easier to roll. With the stem side pointed towards you, place a few tablespoons of filling at the base of the leaf.
  • Roll upwards so the filling is covered by a single layer of the cabbage. Fold both sides in, then roll all the way up.
  • Place the cabbage roll seam side down in a 9x13-inch (23x33 -cm) baking dish and repeat with the remaining filling.
  • Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 head green cabbage, 2lb
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (I use half ground breast and half 93% lean turkey)
1/2 cup onion, minced
1 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute
1/2 cup tomato sauce (no sugar added)
2 cups chopped raw cauliflower
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Core head of cabbage with the tip of a very sharp knife.
  • Place in pot of boiling water (enough to completely cover).
  • As the leaves begin to soften, pull them off and return head to the water.
  • Cut the large thick vein off the back of each leaf in a deep V pattern.
  • Mix together the next ten ingredients.

  • In a large bowl, stir together crushed tomatoes, thyme both peppers, brown sugar substitute and water, (just enough to thin out).

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked cabbage leaves. You can find them in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
  • If you're using fresh cabbage leaves, blanch them before stuffing them. This will help to soften them and make them more pliable.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the cabbage leaves. If they're too full, they'll be difficult to roll and may fall apart during cooking.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to secure the cabbage rolls closed.
  • Cook the cabbage rolls in a covered baking dish or Dutch oven. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the cabbage rolls with your favorite sauce. Tomato sauce, cream sauce, or mushroom sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

Low-carb stuffed cabbage rolls are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're also a great way to use up leftover cabbage and ground beef. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
