A Kimkins low carb adaptation from an old family recipe. We omitted the rice and substituted a zesty salsa for added punch instead of higher carb tomato sauce. Make a double batch for another day!
Ingredients (serves 8)
- 8 large cabbage leaves
- 1 pound cooked extra lean ground beef
- 1/4 pound cooked ground sausage
- 1 cup salsa (jarred OK)
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground sage
- 1 tsp salt & black pepper
Drop cabbage leaves into boiling water, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain well. For filling combine ground beef, ground pork, onions, peppers, egg and spices. Mix well.
Place 1/8 of meat mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf. Roll leaf around the filling and fasten with a toothpick. Place in an 8" baking dish seam side down. Pour salsa evenly over the top. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
Bake for 45 minutes. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
