How to prepare Savory Cabbage Pie

To prepare the savory cabbage pie, first wash the Savoy cabbage leaves and lay them on a cutting board 1. Then cut them into fairly small pieces 2 and set them aside. In a pan, place the diced bacon 3

and let it brown 4, without adding any other fats. Transfer it to a small plate and in the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil with a clove of garlic 5. Let the garlic brown, then remove it and add the cabbage 6.

Add half a glass of water 7, salt, and cover the pan with a lid 8. Let it cook for 5 minutes, then add the browned bacon and black pepper 9.

Add 50 g (1.75 oz) of Parmesan cheese 10 and stir 11. Then turn off the heat. Roll out a sheet of puff pastry inside a 12-inch mold, making sure the parchment paper is upward. This way you can easily remove it 12.

Make sure the pastry adheres well to the mold 13, transfer the cabbage inside, and press it gently with a wooden spoon 14. Sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese 15.

At this point 16, press the edge of the pastry with your finger to imprint a decoration 17. Bake in a preheated ventilated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve your savory cabbage pie 18.

Storage

You can store the savory cabbage pie for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
