This recipe for stuffed cabbage is similar to grandma’s recipe but with one major difference- it’s keto and low carb friendly! Instead of rice in this dish, it makes use of cauliflower rice, which is fried with onions and garlic. Combine that with meats that are savory tomatoes, a variety of meats as well as Italian seasonings and you’ll not only get a great keto meal prep, but it is also a high-nutrient dish!
