Ingredients
Vegetables
- 300g cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Dry Ingredients
- 150g all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is soft and slightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Gradually add the flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Season the batter lightly with salt and pepper. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
- Combine cabbage and batter: Add the sautéed cabbage and onion mixture to the batter and gently fold until well combined.
- Bake the pie: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the cabbage batter into the dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a main dish or a hearty side.
Notes
- You can add herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
- For a richer pie, add some grated cheese to the batter if desired.
- Ensure cabbage is well cooked before combining to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
