Ingredients
- 1/2 head of cabbage
- 500 g (1.1 lb) ground meat
- 1 onion
- Spices, to taste
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
Instructions
- Separate the cabbage leaves and pour boiling water over them.
- Fry the onion in a drop of oil, add the ground meat, spices and tomato paste, and simmer 5-7 minutes. If the sauce is dry, add a little water.
- Layer cabbage leaves and meat sauce alternately in a baking dish until both run out.
- Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Tips
- Soften the cabbage leaves well in boiling water so they layer neatly and bake tender.
- Season the meat sauce generously, since the cabbage is mild; for safe ground meat cooking guidance, see USDA.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing so the layers hold together, and explore more low-carb ideas at Allrecipes.
