Start by making a sauce for the stuffed cabbage using tomato sauce, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.

Mix the sauce ingredients together and bring to heat to blend.

In a cast iron pan, add oil and sauté green bell pepper, shaved cauliflower, and onion until softened.

In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal. Add 1 tablespoon SPG seasoning, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 cup dark brown sugar. Mix well.

Add 1/2 cup beef stock to the meat mixture and the sautéed veggies. Mix everything together.

Core the whole fresh head of cabbage and steam it with about 1/2 cup of water for 10 minutes to soften the leaves.

Carefully pull off 7 or 8 cabbage leaves from the steamed head.

Take a portion of the stuffing and pack it into a cabbage leaf, rolling it like a burrito and placing the seam side down in an oiled pan.

Repeat the rolling process for all cabbage leaves and stuffing.

Pour the prepared sauce over the stuffed cabbage rolls in the pan.

Place the pan on the grill opposite the hot coals, maintaining a temperature of about 325-350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook for 45-50 minutes, repositioning the pan halfway through for even cooking.
