Ingredients

12 large cabbage leaves 600g
1 medium head cauliflower riced, approximately 1 pound or 450g
1 pound ground beef 450g
¼ cup diced onions 60g
2 cloves garlic minced
1 large egg
1 tbsp olive oil 15ml
1 tsp salt 5g
½ tsp black pepper 2.5g
½ tsp paprika 2.5g
1 cup low-carb marinara sauce 240ml
½ cup beef broth 120ml
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional, 60g
Fresh parsley chopped for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the cabbage leaves for 2-3 minutes until they become pliable. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef, cooking until browned. Drain excess grease.
In a large bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, cooked ground beef, egg, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
Lay out a cabbage leaf and place a portion of the filling in the center. Fold in the sides and roll up the leaf to encase the filling. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Pour half of the marinara sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.
Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in the dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce and beef broth over the rolls.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
If using cheese, remove foil, sprinkle cheese over the rolls, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving if desired.

Notes

To make the dish dairy-free, simply omit the cheese. The rolls can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Leftovers store well and can be reheated for a quick and easy keto-friendly meal.
