This Paleo Whole30 Cabbage Roll in a Bowl is a fun way to enjoy cabbage rolls without all the work. A quick, healthy dinner that is gluten free, dairy free, and so delicious! Instant Pot and stove-top instructions.
Okay, I'm just going to be honest and say it- I don't like cabbage! Now you know! I love to make this for my dad though who loves cabbage and highly approves.
It is kind of a cross between soup and a stir-fry consistency. It doesn't have a lot of broth, but could be considered a very hearty soup I suppose. You could add a little liquid and serve it as soup or even reduce the liquid down a little more if desired. However you want to eat it.
This is super easy to make and it makes so much! So great for leftovers, or meal prep, or a big crowd. The cabbage sounds like a lot -16 cups- but it cooks way down. I made this in the Instant Pot which made it super easy and quick, but I always get questions about stove-top instructions as well so I'll include that at the bottom.
Cabbage rolls traditionally have rice in them, but I didn't add any. It's hearty and filling enough without it, but if you want to add some rice feel free. Just stir it in at the end.
You will love this Paleo Whole30 Cabbage Roll in a Bowl because it's filling, packed with veggies, and so flavorful!
