Cabbage Rolls

Sarah Fregoso (lady I got this recipe from)  does hers in a pressure cooker which speeds up the cook time a bunch but I don't own a pressure cooker! I opted to cook mine in a casserole dish in the oven , you can also cook them in a slow cooker if you prefer that method better!! Just experiment and have fun with it , this is a fool proof recipe as long as the meat inside the rolls is cooked then they will be delicious! :) 

Everyday Paleo Cabbage Rolls

Sauce:

1 can of diced tomatoes, drained

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon dried basil

Black pepper to taste

Cabbage Rolls:

1 lb grass fed ground beef

2 cups diced fresh spinach

1 small apple, finely diced

½ red onion, finely diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons flat leaf Italian parsley, finely chopped

1 egg

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

12-15 cabbage leaves

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside. Remove the core from a head of cabbage and place the cabbage leaves in your pressure cooker with one cup of water.  Bring the pressure cooker up to pressure and cook for 30 seconds. Take the leaves out and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, mix together all filling ingredients. Depending on the size of your cabbage leaves, place approximately ¼ cup of filling on the bottom edge of each leaf. Fold in the two outside edges of the cabbage leaf and roll up the filling. Place each cabbage roll seam side down in your pressure cooker. Cover the rolls with the sauce. Bring the pressure cooker up to pressure and cook for 12 minutes. Serve immediately and as always:

Enjoy!
