Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small head Cabbage cut into thick slices
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil for brushing
  • 1 pound Ground Beef or Turkey or ground chicken or plant-based options
  • 1 medium Onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 large Egg optional, for binding
  • 1 cup Cheese for sprinkling on top

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to start warming up.
  2. Cut the cabbage into thick slices about half an inch thick and apply olive oil generously on both sides.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat of your choice with the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce; mix well and add the egg if you want extra binding.
  4. Shape the meat mixture into patties and place each patty on top of a cabbage slice.
  5. Place the patties on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for about 25 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
  6. If you like cheese, sprinkle it on top of the burgers and switch to broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  7. Remove from oven, optionally garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm for a delicious comfort meal.

Notes

  • Keep leftover burgers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze them to enjoy later within three months.
