Stuffed Cabbage Recipe from Mediterranean Paleo Cooking (Paleo)
Ingredients
12 large cabbage leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, ghee, or coconut oil
1 pound beef stew meat
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 sticks cinnamon
fine sea salt and ground black pepper
4 cups beef broth
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
For the Stuffing:
1 pound ground beef
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Boil 3 cups of water in a steamer pot over medium heat. Steam the cabbage leaves for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft, and set them aside.
In a large saute pan, melt the fat over medium heat. Add the stew meat to the pan and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, cinnamon sticks, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook another 3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Cover the mixture with the beef broth and bring to a boil with the lid on. Remove the lid and simmer for 30 minutes.
While the stew meat is cooking, mix the stuffing ingredients together in a large bowl. Place ¼ cup of the stuffing mixture in the middle of steamed cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf halfway, then tuck in the sides and finish rolling. Place the rolled leaf aside on a plate, seam side down. Repeat until all the stuffing is used up.
