I LOVE cabbage rolls. My mom use to make them all the time growing up. When all of this sad, crazy, I don’t even know how to describe it… situation has been going on all around the globe, I really needed some comfort. Food has always been that way for us. Breaking bread over a home cooked meal, being thankful for what is around us & enjoying each others company. That is why I wanted to bring you all this recipe.
It has been hard to figure out how to communicate with you all. How to just be, with feeling not sensitive enough, or overwhelming everyone with worry. Truly, I am the one who wants my social media or news outlets to be filled with what is going on, but I also too want a balance. I want things to go about as normal too, because it is so hard to calm my mind. I know that we can overcome this, we just need to be realistic. We need to not think that we are above sickness, take care of ourselves & take care of our communities!
My hope is when you make this it will 100 percent bring comfort in these times, because I can guarantee it will

- 1 14.5 oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 48 oz container of low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar optional but highly recommend, it adds a more tangy flavor that pairs so well with the rest of the flavors!
Instructions
- In a large 8qt dutch oven add in 2 tbsp olive oil. Then chop the 1/2 yellow onion & mince the 3 cloves garlic. Add it into the pot, then sauté for 2-3 minutes, when the onion & garlic starts to brown.
- Then add in the chicken sausage out of the casing. Once meat is added break apart with a spatula into small pieces & until little to now pink.
- Then slice the halves of the peppers into thin slices & then cut those slices in half as seen below. Then take the large carrot, peel it & cut into thin circle rounds. Add those veggies into the meet mixture. After, sprinkle the oregano, parsley, 2 tsp salt & pepper onto the veggies & meat.
- Once you have added in the seasoning, mix the veggies and cook down for 2 more minutes. Then add in the cabbage chopped roughly— like seen below & coconut sugar. Followed by the 1/2 cup cooked rice on top.
- After pour in the chicken broth, diced roasted tomatoes & tomato sauce. Stir the ingredients, until throughly combined. Then bring to a boil, then cover & turn to a vigorous simmer for 25 minutes. Then take lid off & continue on a low simmer, this will allow it to get thicker & flavors meld. For about an hour or at least 30 minutes. Then stir in the 1/4 cup fresh parsley & let it still simmer for a minute or two. Then serve! We served with a fresh foccata bread made from Basically. Oh my goodness. AMAZING. Enjoy guys!
