About Me

I'm just trying to get back to the basics. Fun, Food, Family and Nature. I want my family to respect nature, appreciate what they have and be as healthy as possible. No, we are not giving up our computers and televisions (I'm not crazy) but we are going to try to live healthier and do more for ourselves. We already hunt, fish, and do limited gardening (due to a lack of yard space). Now ... How can I push it further?

Ground Beef and Cauli Rice Cabbage Rolls


Oh so good and easy.


What you need:
10 Large Cabbage Leaves
1 Lb. Raw Cauliflower (do not use cooked or frozen)
1 & 1/2 Lbs. Ground Beef
1 Tbs. Minced Garlic
1 Tbs. Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
3 Cups Tomato Based Sauce (spaghetti sauce)

What to do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 2 minutes to cook until flexible but not too soft. Drain and set aside to cool. Put raw cauliflower in food processor and pulse until it is the consistency of rice. Set cauli rice aside for now. Brown Ground beef and minced garlic together, drain. Add cauli rice and olive oil to cooked ground beef and cook over medium heat until cauli rice is soft, season with salt and pepper to taste (feel free to add any other seasoning you prefer).One at a time place a partially cooked cabbage leaf into a 9 X 13 baking dish to form a bowl shape. Add 1/2 a cup of beef and cauli rice mixture to center of cabbage leaf bowl. Fold sides of cabbage leaf over beef mixture, then roll up burrito style starting with the thinner end of cabbage leaf so the thick end stays on the outside of the roll. Place seam side down in baking dish. Do this with all 10 cabbage leaves. Pour tomato based spaghetti sauce over the top of the cabbage rolls. Cover and bake for 60 minutes.

This is what the Cauli Rice should look like
