Directions

  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.

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

  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.

  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 the boiling water, cook for 5 minutes. Remove with the slotted spoon. Repeat with second cabbage. Separate cabbage leaves.

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

  6. Lay 1 cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Roll 1 tablespoon of the 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.

  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.

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

Recipe Note

I love stuffed cabbage (galumpkis) and wanted to share my version of paleo stuffed cabbage. I also love zucchini so I find a way to incorporate it in many meals. I made this for a dinner party and everyone was commenting on how delicious and light they were but nobody realized that rice was omitted and I used cauliflower and zucchini. I was hoping for leftovers but that was not the case!
