Instructions

Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the core of the cabbage and boil the whole head for 3 to 5 minutes. Peel away softened outer leaves and set aside
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, riced cauliflower, diced onion, minced garlic, parsley, and egg. Season with salt and pepper
Craft the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together crushed tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, and sweetener. Add olive oil and adjust seasoning to taste
Assemble the Rolls: Flatten the thick central vein of a cabbage leaf, place 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling at the base, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly
Layer and Bake: Spread a layer of sauce in a baking dish, place rolls seam-side down, pour remaining sauce over them, and cover
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 to 75 minutes. Remove cover for last 10 minutes to thicken sauce
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with more parsley

Notes

For best results, ensure cauliflower is well-drained if using frozen.

Consider searing the rolls for extra flavor before baking.
