Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the core from the cabbage and gently peel off 20 to 25 individual leaves. Blanch leaves for 2 minutes, then shock in cold water and drain on paper towels.
- Mix vinegar into tomato sauce and spread a couple of spoonfuls on the bottom of a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a medium skillet, heat bacon fat and saute onions, peppers, and Better Than Bouillon for a few minutes. Add paprika and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in cauliflower rice and saute a few more minutes. Let cool in a large bowl.
- Add ground beef, pork, and egg to the cooled vegetable mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands.
- Place a cabbage leaf flat with the root end closest to you. Scoop about 1/3 cup meat mixture onto the leaf. Fold right and left sides over the filling, then roll up from bottom to top. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
- Pour remaining tomato sauce over the rolls. Bake for 45 minutes until cooked through and slightly browned on top.
Notes
Aluminum half-pan steam table pans from Sam's Club work great here - no dishes to wash. These are even better the next day after the flavors meld. Nutrition is estimated per 2-3 rolls.
