Cabbage Pie

Showcasing my Ukrainian roots with a good-old cabbage pie recipe with bitter cream dill sauce. Made in a skillet, this casserole-like dish is budget-friendly, wholesome and simple to make and might be served as a principal or a aspect dish. Gluten-free, vegetarian, low-carb pleasant.

A cabbage pie is an Jap European recipe made with shredded cabbage, eggs and flour (usually different fillings can be utilized), that are tossed and pressed right into a pancake-like form in a skillet and cooked on either side till golden brown. It’s just like a cabbage casserole.

It has a nice texture: softened cabbage on the within and crispy crust on the skin. The flavour could be very good but gentle and you’ll give it extra punch with herbs, spices, cheese, capers, olives or sun-dried tomatoes. It jogs my memory of a Spanish tortilla.

There are some cabbage pie recipes that use a pastry on the skin however this one is the very simple skillet or frying pan model, which can also be a lot more healthy.

I like serving it with common bitter cream or Greek yoghurt or you can also make my creamy dill sauce. This can be a dairy-free, mayonnaise-based aioli.

When you’ve got leftover cabbage and want the inspiration to make use of it, be certain to do this scrumptious cabbage pie!

CABBAGE PIE INGREDIENTS

This recipe for cabbage pie could be very easy and budget-friendly. You might need a lot of the elements readily available already:

• Cabbage – common, white/inexperienced cabbage is historically used on this recipe. You’ll need about half a kilo (1 pound), which is normally half of a medium cabbage head.
• Eggs – assist to bind the shredded cabbage filling. I haven’t tried making an egg-free model.
• Flour – I exploit store-bought gluten-free flour (1:1 ratio to common flour) however you could possibly attempt tapioca/cassava flour for a grain-free model. I feel that in the event you use finely grated cheese, you could possibly doubtlessly get away with no flour if you wish to make a keto-friendly model of his pie (though haven’t tried this but!)
• Onions – you need to use inexperienced onions or finely chopped yellow/white onion. Chopped leeks may also be good right here.
• Different bits – Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
• For the sauce – recent dill, bitter cream and mayonnaise are whisked collectively.

HOW TO MAKE CABBAGE PIE

Step 1. Shred the cabbage thinly and chop the onions. With the cabbage, I like to recommend slicing the longer items in halves as soon as shredded, so run the knife throughout the shredded items to make them a bit shorter. Makes it simpler to chop the pie as soon as it’s cooked.

Step 2. Add cabbage and onions to a big bowl.

Step 3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over the cabbage and toss via to include.

Step 4. Sprinkle with flour and baking powder and toss via to mix.

Step 5. In a big skillet/frying pan (about 9-10-inches ideally), warmth about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium warmth. Switch the cabbage combination into the pan and unfold evenly, patting it down with a spatula. Then flip all the way down to low-medium warmth. Cowl the pan with a lid or some foil and prepare dinner for about Quarter-hour, till you get a golden-brown crust on the underside.

Step 6. Use a spatula to ensure the cabbage pancake (pie) is unfastened sufficient to take away from the pan.  Put a big plate or a chopping board over the pan and flip it the wrong way up. Add one other tablespoon or two of oil into the pan and swirl it round.

Then slide the cabbage pie again into the pan raw aspect down. Prepare dinner for 10-Quarter-hour uncovered to kind a golden crust on the opposite aspect. If utilizing cheese, sprinkle it everywhere in the prime when you flip the pie and let it soften into the crust. 

Step 7. Let it cool barely earlier than serving and slicing. Garnish with chopped inexperienced onions or dill and a aspect of dill sauce.

Step 8. To make the dill sauce, merely mix and whisk the elements in a bowl. Serve a dollop of dill cream over the sliced cabbage pie. 

Serve the shrimp on a platter or a wood board with the sauce, a few of it drizzled over. Garnish with some herbs (cilantro/coriander or chopped inexperienced onions). Or, you’ll be able to assemble grilled shrimp bowls.

TIPS FOR MAKING SKILLET CABBAGE PIE

• Make certain the cabbage is shredded fairly thinly. The longer strips of cabbage ought to be minimize in halves. It will make the pie simpler to chop and can make sure the cabbage is cooked via properly. 
• The cabbage is cooked in a medium-large skillet or frying pan. The thickness of the pie will depend upon the dimensions of the pan. If the pan is just too small, the pie will likely be too thick/tall and won’t prepare dinner via on the within, so go for a medium pan or skillet. 
• Whilst you don’t want as a lot oil for cooking this cabbage pie as you’d for a potato tortilla, you continue to want somewhat fats to stop the pie from burning and to offer it the perfect crispy crust. If it begins to get somewhat dry via cooking, drizzle somewhat extra oil across the edges and swirl the pan round.
• You possibly can fill the pie with all types of greens, meats, sausages, shredded rooster and mushrooms. Typically I add shredded carrot or candy potato, grated cheese or feta.
