Time 1h30m

Yield 1 10-inch pie, serving 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large green cabbage, about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored, and shredded
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
3 large eggs, beaten
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
12 sheets phyllo dough
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, and meanwhile fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the cabbage to the boiling water and blanch for 1 minute. Transfer to the ice water, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then drain.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir together, and stir in the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the cabbage. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture is very tender and beginning to color, about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the dill and parsley, and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Brush a 10-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and beat in the crumbled feta. Stir in the cabbage mixture and combine well.
  • Line the pan with 7 pieces of phyllo, brushing each piece with olive oil, or a combination of olive oil and melted butter, and turning the dish after each addition so that the edges of the phyllo drape evenly over the pan. Fill with the cabbage mixture. Fold the draped edges in over the filling, then layer the remaining 5 pieces on top, brushing each piece with olive oil (or olive oil and butter). Stuff the edges into the sides of the pan. Make a few slashes in the top so that steam can escape as the pie bakes.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until the phyllo is crisp and dark golden brown. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

This pie was a great way to use up some leftover cabbage. It was easy to make and the flavors were spot-on. I'll definitely be making this again.

I had some trouble getting the phyllo dough to cooperate, but the end result was worth it. The pie was crispy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll be sure to watch a tutorial on how to work with phyllo dough first.

This pie was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much feta cheese. Other than that, it was a delicious and easy-to-make dish.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but I loved this pie! The dill and feta really helped to balance out the cabbage flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great! I used a store-bought phyllo dough and it worked perfectly. The cabbage filling was flavorful and the feta cheese added a nice salty tang.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit! The cabbage cooks down beautifully and the dill and feta add so much flavor. I like to serve it with a side of tzatziki sauce.
