Cabbage Rolls

I was craving Russian comfort food. I love cabbage rolls. They traditionally have rice in them so you should do brown if you are still eating rice.
 But to be completely Paleo, I did the cauliflower rice thing. Which is basically pulsing small cauliflower chunks in a food processor to a rice consistency.  After some tweaking to the original recipe well I think found the right Paleo balance.

These were super yummy and totally hit the spot!

First Pre boil the cabbage; Core and place whole in salter water. Boil for 5 minutes. 

Some people say you can just boil the leaves for 3 minutes. Hah just try and peal those tight leaves off and not tear them. I am pretty sure it's impossible.

For the beef filling:

1 lb of lean ground beef

1 TBSP crushed garlic

1/2 onion finely chopped

1 egg

1/4 c coconut milk

1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne powder (to taste)

1 1/2 tsp onion powder

pepper & truffle salt or sea salt
 (1/2 tsp each or to taste)

1 c raw cauliflower rice (or cooked rice)

Mix above ingredients together. 

Place approximately 1/4 cup of the meat filling at based of cabbage leaf and roll like a burrito tucking in the sides.

For the sauce:
1  15oz can organic tomato sauce
3 fresh Roma tomatoes chopped
1/2 c broth (I used organic chicken)
1/2 onion chopped 
1 TBSP crushed garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp cayenne powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper 
(or to taste)
1 TBSP Worcestershire
1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 scoops of stevia 

Mix together and pour over rolls.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 60 minutes.

Enjoy!!
