These low-carb wraps use seasoned ground beef in place of a grain-based filling. The cooked filling is wrapped in lettuce leaves and chilled before serving. Since the rolls need no cooking after assembly, this traditional dolma-style dish can fit a keto diet.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the Ground Beef

10 min

Cook the grated onion and crushed garlic in olive oil until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until it changes color.

2

Season

5 min

Add the red pepper flakes, cumin, tomato paste, and salt. Cook for 5 more minutes.

3

Cool the Filling

20 min

Let the cooked filling cool for 20 minutes, until it reaches room temperature.

4

Wrap

15 min

Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cooled filling into a lettuce leaf and wrap it tightly.

5

Chill in the Refrigerator

60 min

Chill the wrapped rolls in a sealed container in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the spices meld.

Reminder

If you try to wrap the filling while it is hot, the lettuce leaves will soften and tear. Let it cool first. If you serve the rolls without chilling them for at least 1 hour, the spices will not have time to meld.

Sarma işini akşamdan hazırlayıp gece boyunca buzdolabında bıraktım, ertesi sabah kahvaltı sofrasında soğuk servis ettiğimde marul çıtır çıtırdı ve baharatlar güzelce oturmuştu, ailem pirinç aramadı bile.

Harcı hazırladıktan sonra tarifte yazan gibi tam 1 saat buzdolabında bekletmeme rağmen marul yaprakları yine de yırtıldı, acaba yapraklar çok mu ince olmalı yoksa daha mı kalın seçmeliyim?
