INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:

GREEN CABBAGE:

  • We use green cabbage because it becomes tender after cooking and holds the filling together well. As an alternative, you can use Savoy cabbage or Napa cabbage.

SMOKED BEEF SAUSAGE:

  • We use smoked beef sausage because it adds a smoky flavor and juicy texture to the filling. As a replacement, you can use andouille sausage or homemade keto sausage.

CAULIFLOWER RICE:

  • We utilize cauliflower rice because it replaces traditional rice while keeping the recipe low in carbs. Alternatively, you can use finely chopped broccoli.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • We use heavy cream to create a smooth and creamy filling.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • We utilize mozzarella because it melts beautifully and gives the filling a cheesy, stretchy texture.

BUTTER:

  • Butter makes the filling richer and more flavorful overall. Instead, you could utilize ghee or avocado oil.
