Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken (or turkey)
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 12 large Cabbage leaves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 500 ml Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Mix them with the ground chicken (or turkey), salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
Step 2
Carefully blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes to soften them. Remove and immerse them in ice water to stop cooking.
Step 3
Lay the cabbage leaves on a clean surface and pat them dry. Place a tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up the cabbage leaf to form a small parcel.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and place the cabbage parcels seam side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until browned.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth and soy sauce into the pan, covering the parcels halfway. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, ensuring the meat is cooked through.
Step 6
Serve the low-carb Chuchvara hot, garnished with chopped parsley for extra freshness and flavor.
