Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cabbage Pie:

    • ½ medium cabbage, shredded finely (core out, about 400500 g or 1 lb. of cabbage)

    • 3 green onions, chopped (greens and white parts)

    • 3 large eggs

    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • ½ teaspoon pepper

    • ⅔ cup gluten-free flour or regular flour

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • 34 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

    • Optional: ½ cup grated cheese (Cheddar, Mozzarella, etc.)

  • For the Dill Sauce:

    • ⅓ cup light sour cream

    • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

    • 2 tablespoons chopped dill

    • A pinch of salt & pepper


Instructions

  • Prepare the Cabbage:

    • Shred the cabbage thinly and chop the green onions. Place them in a large bowl.

    • Tip: To make slicing easier later, cut any long cabbage pieces in half across the shredded pieces with a knife.

  • Make the Egg Mixture:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cabbage and onions, tossing it to combine.

  • Add Dry Ingredients:

    • Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the cabbage mixture and toss again to ensure everything is evenly combined.

  • Cook the Cabbage Pie:

    • Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet (9-10 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Add the cabbage mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly and pressing it down with a spatula.

    • Reduce the heat to low-medium, cover the skillet with a lid or foil, and cook for about 15 minutes or until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.

  • Flip the Pie:

    • Once the bottom is golden and crispy, use a spatula to loosen the cabbage pie from the pan. Place a large plate or chopping board over the skillet and carefully flip the pan upside down, letting the pie transfer to the plate.

    • Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, swirl it around, and then slide the cabbage pie back into the pan, uncooked side down. Cook uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until a golden crust forms on the other side.

    • If using cheese, sprinkle it over the pie once flipped and let it melt into the crust.

  • Prepare the Dill Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

 

  • Serve:

    • Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving and cutting. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or dill if desired.

    • Serve a dollop of dill sauce on the side for dipping.
