Turn humble cabbage into something delicious — fast and budget-friendly! It's hard to say how many thousands of years ago the first cabbage pie was baked.

Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Finely shred the cabbage and cover it with salted boiling water for 30 minutes. Dice the onion and sauté until golden; grate the carrots on the coarse side of a box grater and cook them down separately in a skillet over low heat for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the cabbage. Add the flour, semolina, eggs, a spoonful of sour cream, and 1 tsp salt, and stir. Heat oil in a skillet (a crêpe pan works best), spread on a layer of the cabbage batter, smooth it thin with a spoon, and fry on both sides until crisp.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    They fry up easily — add a little oil under each pancake. I ended up with 4. Season the ground meat with salt and pepper and fry it lightly. Now assemble the cake: line a cake pan with parchment, set down the first pancake, spread it thinly with sour cream, top with ¼ of the meat, then the carrots and onion (season to taste first). Sprinkle with green onion. Keep layering the same way over the remaining 3 pancakes. Make the sauce: stir the rest of the sour cream together with the grated cheese.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Spread the sauce over the top and bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden. Beautiful and delicious!
