Description
These delicious cabbage dumplings are a low-carb twist on a beloved favorite. Filled with savory ingredients, they make a perfect side dish or light meal.
Ingredients
1 medium head of cabbage
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
**Prepare the Cabbage**: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully peel off 12-16 leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside to cool.
**Make the Filling**: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and parsley. Mix until well combined.
**Assemble the Dumplings**: Take one cabbage leaf and place a generous spoonful of the cheese filling at the base. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the base up to form a dumpling. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
**Cook the Dumplings**: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add dumplings seam-side down and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches.
**Serve**: Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious cabbage dumplings!
