Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 1 lb Ground beef (85% lean)
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 0.5 cup, finely diced Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1.5 cups Crushed tomatoes (unsweetened)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage head and submerge the whole cabbage in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Peel off the outer layer of leaves as they soften and set them aside. Continue until you have 10-12 large cabbage leaves. Pat the leaves dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cauliflower rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and parsley. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a neat roll. Repeat with all cabbage leaves and filling.

Step 4

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Sear them gently for 2-3 minutes until light golden brown on the bottom.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes and beef broth together. Pour this mixture over the cabbage rolls in the skillet.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rolls simmer for 60 minutes, basting occasionally with the tomato sauce, until the meat filling is fully cooked and tender.

Step 7

Carefully remove the rolls from the skillet and serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
