Units
Scale
- 1 large green cabbage, sliced into thick rounds (about 6 slices)
- 500g (1.1 lbs) ground beef or mixed minced meat
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Olive oil for brushing
- Herb Cream Topping:
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place cabbage slices on the tray and brush lightly with olive oil.
- In a bowl, combine minced meat with onion, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Scoop the meat mixture and spread it evenly over each cabbage round.
- In another bowl, mix the sour cream with dill, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the herb topping.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the herb cream over the meat layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the cream topping is lightly golden.
- Garnish with extra herbs if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a higher-protein, lower-fat topping.
- Switch ground beef with turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- Fresh herbs give the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted in smaller amounts.
- Leftovers store well and are great for meal prep.
