Let’s dive into how to make it step by step.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Cabbage:
- 1 medium head of green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional, traditional touch)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
For the Low-Carb Dumplings:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1-2 tablespoons water or almond milk (as needed for consistency)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage
Start by heating olive oil or butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Next, add the shredded cabbage, smoked paprika, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to coat the cabbage in the seasonings. Pour in the broth, cover, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still has a slight bite.
Step 2: Make the Dumpling Dough
While the cabbage is cooking, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened cream cheese, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry, forming a dough. If the dough seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or almond milk until it holds together but isn’t sticky.
