Do you love cabbage rolls but don’t really want to spend so long in the kitchen rolling them all up by hand? Well, here’s a meal that doesn’t look quite as pretty but delivers all the same flavors with a fraction of the prep time.
You can use homemade tomato sauce if you have it – as with most things homemade, the flavor will probably be better.
But there are also some Paleo-friendly canned or jarred sauces out there: just be sure to read the ingredients list very carefully (don’t be fooled by meaningless labels like “all-natural:” read the actual ingredients!).
This recipe is great for busy nights when you just need something on the table fast. It’s full of nutrition – the cabbage is packed with Vitamin C, and the tomatoes deliver a respectable amount of B vitamins, potassium, and other minerals.
And that’s without all the nutrition in the beef – on top of the protein and healthy fat, it’s also full of Vitamin B12 and minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium. It might not look like a restaurant dinner, but it’ll give you all the fuel you need to keep going – and isn’t that really the most important thing?
