Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 medium green cabbage (about 10-12 large leaves)
  • 1 ½ cups cooked lentils
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 whole egg
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon psyllium husk
  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein powder 
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove 10-12 large cabbage leaves and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until pliable. Drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix cooked lentils, quinoa, green onions, garlic, cottage cheese, egg whites, whole egg, paprika, salt, black pepper, and protein powder. Stir well to combine.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Insert a cabbage leaf into a small round bowl and place 2-3 tbsp of filling in the center. Fold in the sides over into a little round package. Repeat for all leaves.
  4. Cook the Rolls: Pour half the tomato sauce into the bottom of a large skillet or baking dish. Arrange cabbage rolls seam-side down. Pour vegetable broth and remaining tomato sauce over the rolls. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes.
  5. Serve Warm: Garnish with extra green onions and Greek yogurt.

The burrito method works for a classic shape but I actually used a little bowl and folded edges over the top into little round packets. Maybe easier.
