Instructions

Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the core of the cabbage. Submerge the entire head in the water for 3-5 minutes until the outer leaves become translucent and soft. Peel them off one by one and set them aside on a paper towel to drai
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add your Olive Oil. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cauliflower rice. Cook for 5 minutes until the moisture from the cauliflower has evaporated
Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, sautéed cauliflower mixture, smoked paprika, fresh herbs, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently
Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, combine the crushed San Marzano tomatoes, monk fruit, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 10 minutes
Roll the Cabbage: Lay a cabbage leaf flat and shave down the thick central rib with a knife. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling near the stem end. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly toward the top of the leaf
Bake to Perfection: Place the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes

Notes

For a lighter profile, substitute with ground turkey or ground chicken, adding an extra tablespoon of Olive Oil to prevent dryness.

Use a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms and walnuts for a plant-based alternative.

Allow the dish to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
