Best Low-Carb Cabbage Rolls for 2
These lovely cabbage rolls make a fantastic Keto date night dinner recipe. They take a little extra time to prepare but are well worth it. We used fried cauliflower rice instead of rice and added just enough homemade tomato sauce to make these beautiful cabbage rolls tender and super delicious. You can add a small amount of cheese into the filling for a creamy version of these cabbage rolls or top the rolls with some shredded mozzarella. In this case, remember to log the ingredients separately to stay within your daily carb limits. Serve the rolls as they are or along with your favorite low-carb sides. Enjoy!
Can I prepare these cabbage rolls in advance?
This fantastic recipe can remain fresh in the fridge for days, making it an excellent option to prepare in advance and serve as a healthy dinner for two. Gently reheat in the oven or on the stovetop when ready to serve.
Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
Absolutely! You can freeze the leftover cabbage rolls for a few months. Thaw in the oven when ready to serve.
Serving suggestions
These lovely cabbage rolls are delicious as they are, but they will also pair perfectly with various low-carb sides, such as mashed cauliflower, fresh vegetable salad, or a dollop of your cream (or Greek yogurt). Enjoy!
How do you substitute the ground beef?
You can substitute the ground beef with the same amount of ground pork. You can also mix the beef with pork.

1 h 20 min
Step 1
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower rice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the cauliflower rice from the pan and set it aside.Step 2
Add the tomatoes to the same pan. Add the garlic powder, oregano, thyme, chives, and beef stock cube. Cook for 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally. Optionally, adjust the amount of herbs and spices according to your taste.Step 3
Put the ground beef in a medium bowl. Add the egg, cauliflower rice, and half of the prepared tomato sauce. Mix well to combine.Step 4
Boil the cabbage leaves until they are tender. Then, remove them from the heat and drain. Cut a “V” shape in each cabbage leaf to remove the firm stem to roll them easily. Place some of the beef mixture into a log shape at the end of a cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides and then roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining mixture.Step 5
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the cabbage rolls into a baking dish and top with the remaining tomato sauce. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10-12 minutes.Step 6
Transfer to serving plates. Optionally, garnish with some freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Great recipe but it's missing a step. You need to parboil the cabbage leaves
