Paleo Stuffed Cabbage

Paleo Stuffed Cabbage

I love paleo stuffed cabbage, also known as Galumpkis, and wanted to share my own version with zucchini, which I also love. I made this recipe for a dinner party, and everyone commented on how delicious and light it was — nobody realized I had swapped rice with cauliflower and zucchini. I was hoping for leftovers, but that was not the case!

Ingredients

Tomato Sauce

  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¾ head cauliflower
  • 2 heads green cabbage
  • 1 zucchini
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt

Directions

Step 1
Combine tomatoes, chicken broth, 1 clove garlic, and 1 teaspoon parsley in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add tomato paste. Fill the can 1/4 of the way with hot water; swirl to dissolve any tomato paste remaining in the can and pour into the saucepan. Season sauce with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until flavors combine, about 30 minutes.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 3
Mix beef, pork, onion, 3 cloves garlic, basil, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl.

Step 4
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 2 tablespoons sea salt. Add cauliflower; cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Add 1 head of cabbage to boiling water; cook for 5 minutes. Remove with the slotted spoon. Repeat with second cabbage. Separate cabbage leaves.

Step 5
Shred cauliflower and zucchini in a food processor fitted with the shredder disk. Add enough to beef mixture so there is an equal ratio of both. Stir in eggs and almond flour.

Step 6
Lay 1 cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Roll 1 tablespoon of beef mixture into a log and place in the middle of the leaf. Overlap with the bottom of the leaf; fold in opposing edges and roll up. Repeat with remaining leaves and beef mixture.

Step 7
Coat the bottom of a large baking dish with a layer of tomato sauce. Arrange cabbage rolls seam-side down in the dish; cover with remaining tomato sauce. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling, about 1 hour.
