RECIPE - PERFECT POST WORKOUT (UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS)

This is a quick and easy main dish. I can whip this up in a matter of minutes.  Let it simmer on the stove while I have my shower and eat- the whole pan!   Seriously!  It's filling, satisfying and honestly not that many calories.  Why drink a 4 or 500 calories shake when you can have an entire meal for the same amount.  For an added calorie/carb bomb, post workout.  Serve this up with a piece of corn bread.

Just a quick little tip. The longer it stands the better it tastes but the more likely it will be eaten by someone else so choose wisely.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground meat (optional a link or two of crumbled up sausage for extra flavour)1 small head cabbage, chopped into thin slices
1 small can diced tomatoes (optional...can get by with just tomato sauce)
1 can tomato sauce of your choosing.  Something with flavour.
              *OR make your own sauce with a can of tomato paste.
              * Water it way down (about 1 cup) then add spices of your choosing.
1/2 cup Quinoa
1/2 to 3/4 cup water (may need to add more halfway through as the quinoa cooks)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper


Directions

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir meat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease or not. Add cabbage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, Quinoa, water, garlic, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes. Let it cool a bit and then dig in!
