Chimichurri Cabbage Roll
By Esther Boateng
Forget empanadas, enchiladas, and sausage rolls. Tonight, go carb-free and tuck into a chimichurri cabbage roll. Use ground turkey, lamb, or beef, add some cooked rice, and if you fancy it, some heirloom field peas, lentils, or kidney beans; wrap these ingredients in a blanched cabbage leaf, garnish with a zesty chimichurri sauce, and serve immediately.
