- 1 head cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cauliflower rice (or regular rice if not strictly low-carb)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (low-carb or sugar-free)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the head of cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes until outer leaves are softened. Remove cabbage from water and let cool slightly.
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the meat, cooking until onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in cauliflower rice (or regular rice), marinara sauce, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
- Carefully peel off softened cabbage leaves and trim the thick center stem.
- Spoon a portion of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf and roll up, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Place cabbage rolls seam side down in a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinara sauce over the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes until cabbage is tender.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
