How to Make Stuffed Cabbage Low Carb Low Fat Big Flavor

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Core a medium-sized head of cabbage (about 2 lbs) using a sharp knife.
  3. Place the whole cabbage in a large pot of boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the outer leaves begin to soften.
  4. Remove the softened leaves one by one and set aside. Continue boiling the cabbage until you have enough leaves for your filling (approximately 12-15).
  5. Remove the thick, tough center vein from the back of each leaf by cutting a deep 'V' shape.
  6. In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients (see below) and mix thoroughly.
  7. Place approximately 1/4 cup of meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf near the thick end.
  8. Roll up each leaf tightly, tucking in the sides before rolling away from you.
  9. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls, seam-side down, in a large (9x13 inch) glass baking dish.
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk together crushed tomatoes, thyme, both peppers, brown sugar substitute and water (see ingredient list for quantities).
  11. Pour the tomato mixture over the stuffed cabbage rolls.
  12. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  13. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 1.5-2 hours, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is heated through. Check after 1.5 hours; if not cooked through, bake in 15 minute increments until done.
