Nutrient dense cabbage just needs a fun update to be more desirable. How about sautéing some filling and rolling it up in a cabbage leaf like an egg roll?

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cabbage save large outer leaves, shred the inside*
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock
  • toothpicks

Instructions

  • Carefully remove the large, darker outer leaves from the cabbage head and set aside. You should have about ten good leaves per head, don’t worry if you tear them a little, it happens. Remove the hard core and roughly chop the remaining cabbage into small pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Saute the onions, shredded cabbage, caraway seeds, salt and pepper til onions are softened and translucent.
  • Add 1 cup stock or broth to pan and increase heat to medium high. Stir in pan and saute until liquid is gone.
  • One at a time, place a large outer leaf on a flat surface, spoon in about a ¼ to ½ cup of the shredded cabbage mixture and roll up eggroll style (demonstrated below in a cool GIF!). Secure with a toothpick.
  • Let sit for five minutes so the heat from the cooked cabbage will soften the outer leaf. You can put the rolls under a lid or in an enclosed tupperware container to facilitate the steaming of the outer leaf for quicker softening.
