Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls (Meat and Cabbage Stew)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no rice in the meat mixture. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty and flavorful stew of ground meat (typically pork and/or beef) mixed with tender shredded cabbage, simmered in a light, savory tomato-based sauce with aromatic spices and herbs. This version omits the traditional rice filling and is presented as a 'deconstructed' form of the classic dish.
Key ingredients
Ground pork, ground beef, green cabbage, tomato paste, onions, carrots (small amount), garlic, bay leaf, fresh dill, cooking oil (e.g., sunflower oil), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Absolutely no rice in the meat mixture. Confirm no sugar is added to the tomato sauce and no flour is used as a thickener.
Watch out for
Rice (must be omitted), tomato paste/sauce (can contain hidden sugars), carrots, onions, potential flour thickeners.
