These keto Stuffed Cabbage Rolls are bursting with flavor and feature a delightful combination of seasoned ground beef, cauliflower rice, and aromatic herbs, all wrapped in tender cabbage leaves. Each bite is a perfect balance of savory and slightly tangy, thanks to the tomato sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups tomato sauce (sugar-free, if following strict keto)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core of the cabbage and place the whole head into the boiling water. Blanch for about 2-3 minutes until the leaves are pliable. Remove and let cool.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, cauliflower rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Stuff the Rolls: Carefully peel off the cabbage leaves and cut the thick stem to make them easier to roll. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of filling at the base of each leaf, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the Rolls: Place the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down in the skillet with the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the flavors meld.
- Serve: Carefully transfer the rolls to a serving platter, spooning extra sauce over the top. Enjoy your delicious keto Stuffed Cabbage Rolls!
