Thread: cabbage rolls

Does anyone have a recipe for mock cabbage rolls? I know I can't have rice in them, but I thought they would be a nice change even without the rice. Thanks in advance.

Those are no problem!

Just shred some cauliflower to make it "look" like rice, nuke it for a short time to make it soft (not mushy but not raw and crunchy either) and then use that as your filler.

You can also use just meat but then that would make the texture pretty tough.

For dishes like this, I like using a combination of meats such as ground beef, pork, and veal, or lamb. Along with a little grated parmesan, the texture comes out nice and soft, not hard and dense.

I have a recipe for these at home that I used when doing WW, it uses TVP - I'll try to remember to dig it out tonight, we always loved it!

Thanks so much Marcie, I tried this last night and really enjoyed it. I should have baked it longer, the cabbage was a little crunchy but it was still a nice change.

Next time you try it, microwave the shredded cauliflower for a few mintues before you mix it into your stuffing. That should soften it a bit so it doesn't end up crunchy in the final dish.

I'm glad it worked out for you!
