Ingredients
- 12 leaves Green cabbage leaves
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Spinach
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 30 grams, freshly chopped Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 500 ml Chicken or vegetable broth
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the cabbage leaves. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the cabbage leaves. Blanch them for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, then remove and set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, egg, finely chopped spinach, almond flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Take a cooled cabbage leaf and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on one end. Fold in the sides and roll up the leaf to enclose the filling, similar to rolling a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the stuffed cabbage rolls and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, turning carefully, for about 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth over the cabbage rolls in the skillet. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the rolls to cook through and the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Serve the low carb Maultaschen hot, with a little of the broth drizzled over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
