Grilled Pizza:
This recipe is AWESOME for when you are SO hungry and want to EAT EVERYTHING in front of you!! FEEL free to add as much cabbage (cabbage is very low cal) as you want if you're at that point.
.
1. Wash the cabbage. Cut it into small pieces....
2. Add 2 cups of tomato sauce to a pot and put the cabbage in
3. Add some sea salt and pepper to taste
4. Turn the burner on medium heat. As the cabbage warms up, it will become more limber and get submerged into the tomato sauce. Cook until limber (about 15 min)
5. Add water to the pot to make sure all cabbage is submereged
6. Once all the cabbage is submerged in liquid, cook on high until boiling.
7. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat to simmer for another 20 minutes, stirring when needed. (I cook it at medium bc my pot is really thick).
8. At the 20 minute mark, taste the cabbage to see if it is to your liking (some like it more crunchy and some soft), if it is not soft enough, continue to cook it.
9. Once the softness is to your liking, take it off heat and add it to a bowl (cooked cabbage is about ONLY 13 calories for a cup) but if you're following the 21 DF diet, eat 1 green container worth
10. I love to add shredded chicken (1 red container worth) AND 1 blue container worth of Mozzarella & Parmesan cheese
SO GOOD!!!
