Low Carb Slow Cooker Lamb Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

8 ratings

These mouth-wateringly delicious stuffed cabbage leaves are the perfect combination of fatty lamb, aromatic herbs and low carb veggies.

Once you have carried out the prep, you can sit back and let the slow cooker take over.

These stuffed cabbage leaves are great on their own of served with a side of cauli rice.

The recipe requires a whole savoy cabbage but only 6 of these will be eaten, the rest serve to help steam the cabbage parcels.

Recipe Steps

steps 13

4 h 30 min

  • Step 1

    Cut the thick stem from the base of the cabbage and pull all the cabbage leaves off, including the smaller ones.
  • Step 2

    Submerge the cabbage leaves in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes to allow them to soften. Drain, pat dry and reserve to one side.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add the lamb mince to a mixing bowl with the mint, oregano, cumin and cinnamon. Use your hands to mix together well.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Finely dice the zucchini and the shallot and add to a mixing bowl. Mince the garlic into the bowl and add the tomato puree. Stir well to combine.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Add the vegetable mix to the minced lamb, season with salt and pepper and use your hands to thoroughly combine.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Arrange 6 of the biggest cabbage leaves and trim off any hard stalks at the base of the leaves.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Take half of the remaining smaller leaves to create a layer on the base of the crock pot.
    Step 7
  • Step 8

    Depending on the size of your cabbage leaves, you will want up to ½ a cup of the mince mixture per large leaf. Taking approximately half a cup at a time, form the mixture into an oval shape and place at the end of each leaf.
    Step 8
  • Step 9

    Fold the sides of the leaf in to cover the ends of the mince, then roll the leaf over to form a tight log.
    Step 9
  • Step 10

    Once you have stuffed each leaf, pack them tightly into the base of the crock pot.
    Step 10
  • Step 11

    Dice the tomato and scatter over the cabbages and pour over the stock.
    Step 11
  • Step 12

    Cover the rolls with a layer of remaining leaves.
    Step 12
  • Step 13

    Turn the crock pot to high and cook for 4 hours or until the lamb is completely cooked through and piping hot. Discard the top layer of leaves and serve the stuffed leaves immediately.
    Step 13

    I substituted riced cauliflower & added an egg as a binder in place of zucchini. Delicious. TY!

      Delicious! Seems like a lot of spices but that is what makes it great. Due to time constraints I cooked this in the oven at 350 for 90 minutes and it turned out fine. I also doubled the recipe. It would be good with even more zucchini in the lamb mix. And possibly feta. I also used just regular cabbage (not savoy). A lot of liquid comes off the cabbage. I don’t think the broth is necessary (or at least not as much as called for).
