Stuffed cabbage with lamb and beef

There weren't enough large leaves to wrap two of the meatballs. I sliced some onions, garlic, and cabbage into the broth of water and canned chopped tomato. After bringing the sauce to a boil, simmer on low for about 45 minutes, basting about three times.

I had a hard time removing whole leaves from the cabbage after cutting off the base, so I'm going to try another method next time. I've read that you can freeze the head of cabbage or core and then immerse the entire head in boiling water to make it easier. I boiled the leaves for 5 minutes in salted water, then rinsed with cool water.



One pound of fatty grass fed grass finished beef plus one pound of lamb equals six meals for me. I seasoned with pepper, paprika and oregano, plenty of garlic and white onion.

Zucchini boats with ground beef

1 lb grass fed grass finished 15% fat ground beef
3 large zucchini
onions
garlic
coconut oil
2 eggs
ground hemp
oregano
thyme
pepper
paprika

These huge cheap zucchini were smiling at me at the Farmers Market. I eat about 1/3 lb of meat per meal, so three large zucchini boats makes for perfect portioning.

Carefully use a knife and spoon to scoop out the zucchini halves. I saved the flesh to cook up in my eggs tomorrow morning.



Cook the onions and garlic in the coconut oil until soft, then add the meat until just brown. Season this mixture heavily with oregano, thyme, pepper and paprika because the zucchini are not seasoned.

Remove this mixture from heat and let it cool off completely before adding two eggs and some ground hemp. Gently mix and spoon into your zucchini. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
