UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLL



Unstuffed Cabbage Roll image

This is a quick and easy main dish. My kids don't even like cabbage, but they love this. I usually try to serve it with green beans, new potatoes, corn, and a pan of corn bread. They eat over half the pan every time. Also, the longer it stands the better it tastes.

This is an alteration on a typical stuffed cabbage recipe. It's healthy, low-fat, low-carb, and a bit spicy. You can't go wrong with this recipe! You may omit the red pepper and cayenne if you do not like spicy foods, or increase like we do! We serve this over brown rice to make it more of a whole meal. We love it! I used roasted garlic-flavored tomato sauce for extra 'kick.'

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLL SOUP



Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Soup image

This recipe came about after a failed casserole recipe turned into an amazing soup! Who says failure is a bad thing? You could even make this vegetarian/vegan by changing the meat to a veg friendly option and using a veg broth. Hope you enjoy this too!

Provided by Mamas Kitchen Hope

Categories     Rice

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium cabbage (shredded and bagged cabbage or coleslaw mix works great and saves this step)
16 ounces ground turkey (TVP, veggie crumbles etc.) or 16 ounces lean ground beef (TVP, veggie crumbles etc.)
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (more if you like)
1 eggs, beaten or 1 egg substitute
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
8 ounces chicken broth or 8 ounces vegetarian chicken broth
12 ounces vegetable juice, like V8 (we like to use the hot & spicy here)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more if you like) (optional)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (veg friendly can be used)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh ground is best
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup rice, raw

Steps:

  • Saute onion and garlic in a large skillet for about a minute. Add meat and cook, stirring often, until meat is no longer pink. Drain well and return to pan.
  • Meanwhile, remove tough outer leaves from cabbage & remove core. Shred cabbage if not using a bag of shredded cabbage.
  • Add cabbage into pan and saute with the meat just until the cabbage begins to soften.
  • Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until rice is done. You can keep this on low for a long time if you like or even toss everything into a crock pot and keep on low.
  • To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream if desired. Remember- whoever finds the bay leaf is the lucky one! Just do not eat it!

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS, RUSSIAN GALUMPKIS



Unstuffed cabbage rolls, Russian Galumpkis image

Both of my Grandmothers had different recipes for Galumpkis. One was a Hungarian type and this one is the Russian type. Both recipes, I grew up on. Both are equally delicious and very different. This Russian recipe my Mom adapted so as not to have to stuff each leaf of cabbage. Ever since Mom unstuffed them, we have been making...

Provided by Deb Crane

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head of cabbage, diced how you like it.
46 oz tomato sauce or v-8 juice or tomato juice (see note)
3 lb ground beef
2 c regular rice
2 eggs
dash(es) soy sauce (about 8 shakes or so)
black pepper to taste
onion powder to taste
garlic powder to taste
4 bay leaves, dried
1 c ketchup (more to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Start by cutting up your cabbage. You can make chunks,slices, whatever you feel like at the moment. Place it in a large sauce pan. Take half of your tomato juice or sauce, and pour it over the cabbage. Bring to a boil and then simmer for at least 15 minutes to reduce the cabbage and give you room for the porcupine balls.
  • 2. While the cabbage simmers, mix the meat ball mixture. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef,eggs,soy sauce,pepper,onion powder, garlic powder and the rice. Mush it up with your hands and blend it all very well. Form this into meatballs by rolling a palm full in your hands.
  • 3. After the cabbage is reduced and you have room in the pot, put the balls right on top of the cabbage. Add your 4 bay leaves and the rest of your tomato sauce or V-8 or tomato juice. Bring back to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for about 50 minutes to an hour. They are done when the rice if fully cooked.
  • 4. NOTES: Mom used tomato sauce. I tried them with V-8 juice and they are good too. My Mom didnt use as much sauce/juice as I do now. I added more liquid due to the fact that the rice sucks it all up. The following day, you can add more sauce and ketchup because you will find that those thirsty meat balls sucked it all up again. Either that, or you can leave them and add more ketchup on top before reheating.

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS



Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls image

Take the work out of cabbage rolls with this low carb cabbage roll casserole recipe! Orginal recipe found on ThatLowCarbLife.com

Provided by Joe Turner

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 40m

Yield 15 , 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large head of cabbage, chopped
24 ounces marinara sauce, such as rao's
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Add the beef to a 5 quart dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the meat, crumbling as it cooks.
  • When meat is partially cooked, add the onion and garlic to the pan and continue cooking, stirring often.
  • Add the cabbage, marinara, water, and salt to the pan and stir to cover the cabbage in the marinara and beef.
  • Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until the cabbage is as tender as you'd like.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips for Making Unstuffed Cabbage:

  • Choose the right cabbage. A large, firm head of green or Savoy cabbage will work best.
  • Cut the cabbage correctly. Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick wedges, making sure to remove the core.
  • Brown the cabbage. Browning the cabbage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat will help to develop its flavor.
  • Add your other ingredients. Once the cabbage is browned, add your other ingredients, such as ground beef, sausage, tomatoes, onions, and spices.
