I’ve been making some “primal” cabbage rolls as well, and working on perfecting my recipe. One of the things I’ve found that really add to it, is I stuff 10 cabbage rolls with a pound of ground pork, a cup of fine diced onions, a cup of fine diced carrots, four cloves of garlic (I saute the carrots onions and garlic till it’s just softening), an egg, about 1/4 cup ground almonds (I grind my own, because I think it tastes better), two tablespoons cream, 1/4 cup fresh parsley, about a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. I find that it’s 100 times better then a cabbage roll with rice every could hope to be.

I used to make this before paleo with a Hungarian sweet and soup recipe..so I added:

Grated onion and 3TBS almond meal, 1/4 tsp cummin to the meat.
To the tomato paste I added 2 TBS lemon juice and 1 TBS
of Stevia (or honey if you do sugar)
Also a handful of raisans to the tomato sauce…this makes a sweet/sour more traditional sauce…and it’s yummy, but I like sweet foods anyway!

Thanks for these good ideas!

I realize this is an old post but there’s one more very important advantage to the crockpot – it can go in the garage. We’ve had some VERY hot weeks and no one feels like turning the oven or stove on so we cook our food in the crockpot which we move to the garage. Then we get home-cooked food and we don’t have to heat the house up!

Made it last week with cabbage and it was excellent. I’m gonna try it today with chard instead (its what I have on hand). Only suggestion is to add more seasoning to the meat. I like it spicy .

[...] Dinner came around 6:00 P.M. I wasn’t all that hungry after the midday feast, but my wife had made a pot roast with carrots. I can’t resist anything cooked all day in a Crock-Pot, and I know I’m not alone! [...]

That actually sounds really good. I can’t remember the last time I had cabbage. My mom used to fix it, but I must confess that it is a mystery to me. She might’ve made cabbage with spare ribs in it? Does that sound like a possible combo? It seems like it was spare ribs or some sort of pork to season it.

Elizabeth, that salsa verde and coconut milk sounds good too. I’ve done pork loin with red chile sauce (Las Palmas) before in the oven slow cooked. After 10 hours or so, you shred it up and put it in a crock pot with another can of red chile sauce and keep it warm until you are ready to serve. Carnitas! Serve with fresh lime, cilantro, onion, avocado, and whatever else you like. Tortillas are optional.

Candy,
You can brown the meat or put it in uncooked. It is kind of a preference thing.

Do you need to brown the meat before you put it in the crock pot?
