Ingredients

  • 1 small green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour or breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (plus more for brushing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or caraway seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, like mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 1 sheet pie crust, puff pastry, or several sheets of phyllo dough
  • For the dill cream sauce:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a pie dish or skillet.
  2. Heat oil or butter in a skillet, sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and cabbage, cooking until cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized (10–15 minutes).
  3. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, mix the sautéed cabbage with eggs, flour or breadcrumbs, and cheese (if using).
  5. Line the dish with pie crust or layers of buttered phyllo dough, allowing edges to hang over.
  6. Fill with cabbage mixture and smooth the top. Fold over any excess crust and brush with oil or butter.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool for 5–10 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, make dill cream sauce by mixing sour cream, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  9. Slice the pie and serve with a generous spoonful of dill sauce on top.

Notes

  • Add carrots, leeks .
  • Use phyllo for a crisp texture or pie crust for a firmer bite.
  • Make it crustless for a low-carb version.
  • The dill cream sauce can be swapped with tzatziki or garlic yogurt.
  • Use dairy-free cheese and yogurt for a dairy-free version.
