Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 8 large Green cabbage leaves
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 250 milliliters Beef broth
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Core the cabbage and peel off 8 large leaves carefully. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until pliable. Remove and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Mix until everything is well combined.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture on the bottom third of the leaf. Fold the bottom and sides over the filling and roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Place the meat rolls seam side down in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Stir the tomato paste into the beef broth and pour over the meat rolls in the skillet.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, until the meat rolls are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with the cooking sauce drizzled over the top.
