Ingredients

• 1 large green cabbage
• 500 grams ground beef
• 200 grams cauliflower rice
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg
• 400 ml tomato sauce
• 250 ml beef broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the cabbage head into the boiling water.

Step 3

Boil the cabbage for about 10 minutes or until the outer leaves are tender. Carefully peel off 12 large leaves, and set them aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cauliflower rice, onion and garlic mixture, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Place about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture on each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides over the filling and roll the leaf up tightly, like a burrito. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

Step 7

In a large baking dish, pour half of the tomato sauce and beef broth mixture at the bottom. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top of the rolls.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the rolls are fully cooked.

Step 10

Allow the cabbage rolls to cool slightly before serving.
