Lazy Cabbage Rolls

Share

Lazy Cabbage Rolls are my simple take on stuffed cabbage rolls. Stuffed cabbage is common in Eastern Europe and it is a great way to use nutrient-rich cabbage in your meals. Cabbage has so many health benefits and it is a great source of vitamins too. I love exploring cabbage based recipes.

I start these lazy cabbage rolls by blanching sliced cabbage leaves in boiling water. Next I make a filling from ground pork and turkey mixed with rice, onion, eggs and cabbage. I make the meat into patties and place them in a casserole dish before cooking up a tomato sauce. Pour the sauce over the meat patties and bake in the oven!

To make my Lazy Cabbage Rolls, you will need the following ingredients:

I used brown rice instead of white and added ground chicken in place of pork since pork is extremely fattening.
