Whole30 Stuffed Cabbage

Whole30 Approved:  Stuffed Cabbage

I don't know what sparked it, but I have had the biggest craving for Stuffed Cabbage recently!  Since eating Paleo & on the Whole30, I have been eating a lot of cabbage.  It's something I have to say I never really ate much of before!

So let's get started with how to make your own Whole30 approved Stuffed Cabbage!  This is a great recipe for someone who is living a low-carb diet, a gluten free diet or Paleo diet.

First, submerge a cored cabbage in boiling water for 15 minutes.  Drain your water and let the cabbage cool.

Second, make some sauce!!!  This was completely homemade.  Let it simmer on the stove top for about 20 minutes to combine the flavors.

• 1 can of crushed tomaotes
• 1/4c of beef broth 
• 1tbsp of white vinegar
• Juice of 1/2 lemon 
• salt, pepper, 1-2tsp of paprika 

Now it is time to "rice" your cauliflower.  Wash 1 head of cauliflower.  Now, you can easily do this in a food processor if you have one, I do not.  So, I use my cheese grater.  I put the cauliflower into pieces & just grate it into a bowl.  

Add a package (about a pound or so) of meatloaf mix (ground beef, veal, pork) to your bowl of "rice".  Add about 1 cup of your sauce to the mix.  Add salt, pepper, parsley. 

I was making this close to bedtime, so please excuse the lack of pictures at this point.  

Peel off the large leaves of your cabbage.  On a plate, lay the leaf down so it is in the shape of a little bowl.  Put in medium sized scoop of meat mixture in the middle & roll up your leaf.  

Put a large spoonful of sauce on the bottom of a stock pot.  Add your cabbage rolls seam side down to your pot.  Add the rest of your sauce.  

Simmer in a covered pot for about 90 minutes.  

Enjoy!
