Ingredients
  • 1pound ground pork
  • 1 eggwhisked
  • 1.5cup marinara sauce
  • 8leaves cabbage
  • 1/2 cup soffritto(carrot, onion, celery, garlic finely diced & cooked) recipe on mangiapaleo.com
  • 4leaves fresh basilfinely chopped
  • 3sprigs fresh parsleyfinely chopped
  • 1/4tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepperto taste
  • 1pot boiling waterfor cabbage leaves
Instructions
  1. Soften the cabbage leaves by submerging them in a large pot of boiling water, about 10-15 minutes. The leaves should be malleable when finished.
  2. Meanwhile, add the egg, soffritto, basil, parsley, garlic powder, and S&P in the raw ground pork. Mix to combine evenly.
  3. Once the cabbage leaves are done, lay each one flat. Add 2-3 heaping tablespoons of the pork mixture inside each leaf. Place the mixture almost in the middle – a bit closer to the thicker stem area of the leaf. Roll over once, fold in the sides, and continue to roll until it is closed (like a burrito).
  4. Add sauce to a stove-top pan on medium high heat. Place the cabbage involtini in the pan spaced out evenly.
  5. Cover the pan and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
  6. Mangia!
