Ingredients

• Green cabbage - 1 medium head
• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Cauliflower rice - 100 grams
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Egg - 1 large
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Dried thyme - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Beef broth - 240 ml
• Crushed tomatoes - 200 grams

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and carefully remove 8 large leaves from the cabbage head. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until softened, then remove and set aside to cool.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, cauliflower rice, sautéed onion and garlic, egg, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf and roll tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
6. In a baking dish, spread crushed tomatoes on the bottom. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam side down on top of the tomatoes.
7. Pour beef broth over the cabbage rolls, cover with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
8. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the tops are slightly browned and cooked through.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
