  • 2 table spoons of olive oil
  • water (to add as needed)
  • 2 cups of chopped cabbage leaves

To make the the crust combine flour, margarine and one egg in a bowl. Slowly add water and mix (using your hand is the fastest way) until you have a uniform ball of dough. Let the dough rest for a while. Put the onion and the smoked ham in a plan with the olive oil and a bit of water (in necessary).

When the onion has turned a nice golden-ish color, add the cabbage, the carrot and the seasonings. Adjust the level of water if needed, bring to a boil and then reduce heat and then let everything simmer for about 10 minutes.

Spread the crust dough over the bottom and the sides of a pie mold and pour the cabbage mix over the crust, taking care not to add a lot of liquid. In another bowl, whisk the remaining three eggs and then pour them as evenly as possible over the vegetables.

    1. Yes, it would. You should add one or two more large eggs to the cabbage filling for consistency and use a lightly greased pie mold (or cupcake tins if you want to make bite sized portions) or one of those pie molds with the removable top, which would be even better. Mix all the eggs with the cabbage filling before putting everything in the mold (as opposed to pouring them on top like I do here). I usually don’t do this because I really love the crust...:)
