Un-Stuffed Cabbage

This is a yummy, low-carb, quick & easy version of a favorite comfort food! I found this recipe in Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint - Quick & Easy Meals, and it has become a regular in our house. In fact, I usually double the recipe so we have leftovers for a couple days. :)


Time in the Kitchen: 30 minutes
Servings: 4


INGREDIENTS:

* 1 small white or yellow onion, finely chopped or grated
* 2 large turnips, grated (a head of grated cauliflower can be used instead)
* 1/2 pound ground pork
* 1/2 pound ground bison or beef
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* 1 tablespoon dried parsley
* 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes in juice (or several fresh tomatoes)

* 1 head cabbage


DIRECTIONS:

In a deep pot over medium-high heat, saute onion and turnip for a few minutes, then cover with a lid and cook for three minutes to steam the turnip.

Remove the lid and add ground meats, salt, pepper and parsley. Saute for 6-8 minutes then add the can of tomatoes. Simmer rapidly for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

White the meat is simmering, cut the cabbage into fouirths, removing inner core. Separate leaves slightly then microwave cabbage leaves, covered with a loose lid, for 5 minutes. Flavor with a little butter and salt. My family likes to use a little apple cider vinegar on the cabbage.

Serve the ground meat and turnip with a side of cabbage.
