Ingredients
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound lean ground pork
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or avocado, almond, etc.
- ½ white onion diced finely
- 1 ½ cups riced cauliflower does not need to be precooked
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
Instructions
- If you're making your riced cauliflower yourself, rice it using a food processor (or grate it by hand).
- In a large bowl, mix the beef, pork, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Put a large pot of water on the stove over high heat. To prepare the cabbage for rolling, lightly boil it whole and peel the leaves off a few at a time. Cut the core out of the cabbage and place in the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. As the leaves soften, you can peel them off with a spoon or pair of tongs.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Combine the onion and riced cauliflower with the meat, and mix by hand to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Take a cabbage leaf, concave side up with the stem toward you, and place a large spoonful of the meat mixture at the stem end. Then roll forward, fold the sides in and end with the seam down.
- Mix the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce in a bowl. Put about 1 cup in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the cabbage rolls in with the seam side down.
- Cover with the remaining tomato mixture once the slow cooker is full.
- Cook on low for 5 hours.
- Serve & enjoy!
