This recipe not only satisfies your hunger but also brings a touch of nostalgia, reminding you of family meals where every dish has a story. Preparation time: 30 minutes Rising time: 1-1.5 hours Frying time: 20-30 minutes Number of servings: 10-12 Ingredients For the dough: - 1 kg flour (I prefer to mix 800 g white flour with 200 g whole wheat flour for a more complex taste) - 50 g fresh yeast - 1.5 teaspoons salt - 2 tablespoons sugar - 4 tablespoons oil For the cabbage filling: - 1-1.5 kg cabbage (choose fresh, crunchy cabbage) - salt, pepper, hot paprika (to taste) For the cheese filling: - 250 g cheese (you can use cottage cheese or telemea, depending on your preferences) - 1 egg - 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped (or dried) - salt (to taste) Preparation 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water (about 200 ml). Add the sugar and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until foam forms on the surface. This indicates that the yeast is active. In another bowl, mix the flour with the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture and oil. Mix the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, then cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour. If it's winter, you can let the dough rise a little longer. 2. Preparing the cabbage filling: Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage filling. Shred the cabbage and rub it with a teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes to soften. Then, squeeze the cabbage to remove excess water and sauté it in a pan with a little oil. Sauté the cabbage for 10-15 minutes until it becomes soft. Finally, add pepper and hot paprika to taste, as well as a little salt. 3. Preparing the cheese filling: In a bowl, crumble the cheese with a fork, then add the egg, dill, and salt to taste. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. 4. Forming the pies: Once the dough has risen, place it on a floured work surface. Knead it for a few seconds and divide it into about 20 portions of 80 g each (adjusting to the size of the pan you are using). Cover the portions with a towel and let them rest for 10 minutes. 5. Filling and frying the pies: Roll out each portion of dough on an oiled surface. Place the cabbage filling on one half of the dough and fold it over. Make sure the edges are well sealed. Let the pies rest for another 5 minutes. In a well-oiled pan, fry two pies at a low heat. When the pan is hot, place one pie and use your fingers to gently stretch the edges, ensuring it has a round shape. When the pie is browned on one side, flip it and fry it on the other side. Continue the process until all the pies are fried. 6. Serving: When the pies are ready, brush them with a little oil or sour cream for added flavor. They are served hot, alongside yogurt or a fresh salad for a delicious contrast. Useful tips - Variations: You can add some diced ham or sautéed mushrooms to the cabbage filling for extra flavor. You can also replace the cheese with a mix of feta cheese, ricotta, and dill for a creamier filling. - Frying techniques: Make sure the pan is thick to prevent the pies from burning. Use enough oil to fry them evenly. If you want a less greasy result, you can use a non-stick pan. - Nutritional benefits: This pie is a good source of fiber due to the cabbage, as well as protein from the cheese, making it a healthy choice for a hearty meal. Frequently asked questions - Can I freeze the pies? Yes, you can freeze the un-fried pies. Place them in a tray, separating them with plastic wrap, then keep them in the freezer. When you want to eat them, you can fry them directly from the freezer. - What drinks pair well with the pies? The pies pair excellently with natural yogurt or kefir. Additionally, a glass of white wine or a pale beer can perfectly complement the meal. This recipe for pan-fried pie with sautéed cabbage and cheese is not only delicious but also an excellent way to bring the family together at the table. Whether you prepare it on chilly winter days or in spring evenings, it will surely be appreciated by all who taste it. Bon appétit!
