Classic jellied pie with cabbage and kefir

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic cabbage pie with kefir? Start by preparing the ingredients for the filling. It needs to be made in advance so that it cools down. Take refined vegetable oil. Dill or green onions are also suitable for greens.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the cabbage from the top damaged leaves, wash and dry. Chop the cabbage into thin strips.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a frying pan with vegetable oil, simmer the cabbage over moderate heat until half cooked. Stir occasionally so that the cabbage cooks evenly. Cooking time will depend on the properties of the vegetable. If the cabbage is early, from a fresh harvest, it will cook faster. Plus it's much juicier. If the cabbage is from an old harvest, it is usually a bit dry. In this case, you can add a couple of tablespoons of hot water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the parsley, dry it, chop finely.

5. STEP 5

   

   Halfway through cooking, salt the cabbage, add chopped parsley, and stir. Greens will give the filling a spicy taste and aroma. Simmer the cabbage until cooked, remembering to stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a fork until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the beaten eggs into the pan with the cabbage.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix well so that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the filling. Remove the pan from the heat and cool the filling. You can transfer it to a separate bowl for faster cooling.

9. STEP 9

   

   While the filling is cooling, start preparing the dough for the jellied pie. The products should be at room temperature, so remove the eggs and kefir from the refrigerator in advance.

10. STEP 10

    

    Mix flour with baking powder, sift through a fine sieve to enrich it with oxygen. Then the dough will rise better during baking. You will learn about the role of baking powder in baking and whether it can be replaced in the article at the end of the recipe.

11. STEP 11

    

    To knead the dough, take a non-small bowl with high sides to make it convenient to knead the dough. Whisk the eggs and salt until smooth.

12. STEP 12

    

    Pour in kefir, stir.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add vegetable oil, stir again.

14. STEP 14

    

    Add flour sifted with baking powder. First, carefully mix the dough so that the flour does not scatter along the walls of the dish. When the flour combines with the liquid part, vigorously stir the dough with a whisk until the lumps disappear. You may need a little less or more flour, depending on the consistency of the dough. Read about the properties of flour in the link at the end of the recipe.

15. STEP 15

    

    The dough is homogeneous, similar in consistency to pancake dough. It slowly drips off the spoon. Depending on the quality and properties of the flour, more may be required. If the dough is liquid, then add another 15-20 grams. flour.

16. STEP 16

    

    Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil, pour half of the dough, smooth it out. I have a form measuring 18*18 cm.

17. STEP 17

    

    Spread the cabbage filling evenly onto the dough.

18. STEP 18

    

    Pour the remaining dough over the filling, leveling if necessary so that the layer of dough is even.

19. STEP 19

    

    Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180C for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven. Read more about ovens below the steps. Let the finished pie cool slightly and serve, cutting into portions. Bon appetit!

A simple, classic jellied pie with cabbage on kefir, it cooks quite quickly and is eaten even faster. I put the eggs in a saucepan and cook until hard. Fresh cabbage, early harvest, finely chopped and stewed in a frying pan with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil. Then I salted it and added some spices for taste. Finely chopped parsley and mixed with cabbage. I took the eggs off the stove, cooled them in cold water, peeled them and finely chopped them, and also added them to the stewed cabbage. I left the cabbage filling to cool and began making the jellied dough. Before preparing the dough, the eggs and kefir warmed up a little to make a good dough. Beat the eggs with salt until smooth. Pour the required amount of kefir into the beaten eggs and mix with a whisk. Then vegetable oil and stir again. Gradually add flour and baking powder to the egg-kefir mixture, sifting through a fine sieve. I mixed it carefully, the dough turned out not too liquid and not thick, as needed for filling the pie. Baking pan, greased with vegetable oil. I poured half of the jellied dough into the mold, evenly distributed the cooled cabbage filling, and poured the other part of the dough on top. I put the pie in a preheated oven to bake. My oven is not strong, so the baking time was increased. As soon as the classic jellied pie with cabbage on kefir had acquired a golden brown crust, I turned off the oven and let the pie brew in the oven a little more. Then I pulled the pie out of the oven. I cut the cooled pie into portions. Thanks for the recipe!

The remains of kefir got “bored” in the refrigerator. I wouldn’t drink it anymore, but it was perfect for baking. I made half a portion as a test, everyone got a piece, but they told me to cook with some extra next time)) I usually cut boiled eggs into cabbage filling, I liked your idea with a raw egg, it seemed faster. Julia, as you understand, we liked the pie, I give the recipe the highest score!

Julia, the other day I made a jellied pie using this recipe. I really liked the idea of ​​filling it with cabbage and boiled eggs, as you recommend in the recommendations under the recipe. I did just that. I already had stewed cabbage, boiled two eggs and cut them. The pie turned out tasty and filling. I really liked the dough!!! It turned out to be the normal consistency for a jellied pie))) before this I had already made jellied pies according to other recipes, the dough turned out to be thick, and I had to spoon it on instead of pouring it.. Although it was also delicious. Julia, thank you very much for the recipe, delicious filling and good dough. Here is my photo report)))

Thanks for the recipe! It turned out very tasty, although I made two mistakes. First, I added more cabbage, more carrots and celery. Therefore, as a result, the filling fell out, next time I will not exceed the volume of the filling) Secondly, instead of kefir I had yogurt, the dough turned out to be thick and did not flow into the filling. Don’t make my mistakes, use kefir as written in the recipe) But it turned out amazingly delicious)) thanks for the recipe))
