Preparation

How to prepare Savory pie with black cabbage

To prepare the savory pie with black cabbage, start with the shortcrust pastry. Just put the flour, cold butter, and salt into the mixer 1. Then activate the blades until the mixture starts to crumble, then add the ice-cold water 2. Transfer the mixture to a work surface, compact it with your hands, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it firm up in the refrigerator for at least 40 minutes 3.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Clean a leek by removing the two ends 4 and then cutting it vertically. Discard the first 2 leaves 5 and then slice it into thin rings 6.

Finally, clean the black cabbage, ensuring the leaves are intact and not yellowed, then cut into 1-inch pieces 7 and rinse. Move to the stove. In a saucepan, heat a splash of oil and add the leek 8. Let it stew for 2-3 minutes over medium heat 8, adding a little water to prevent it from burning 9.

At this point, you can add the black cabbage 10, season with salt and pepper, and stir 11. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes; remember to stir occasionally 12.

After the time has passed, transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely 13 before adding the grated cheese 14, then the Edam cheese cut into about 1/2-inch cubes 15,

and the eggs 16. Season with another pinch of salt and then add the thyme leaves 17. At this point, the shortcrust pastry should be ready. Retrieve it, remove the plastic wrap, and roll it out on a lightly floured work surface 18.

Roll out the dough until you get a disk about 1/4 inch thick. Wrap it around the rolling pin and unroll the shortcrust pastry into a fluted 9-inch pan 19. Trim the excess with a knife 20. Prick the base with a fork and then pour in the filling 21.

Your savory pie is ready 22 to bake in a static oven, preheated to 355°F, on the lowest shelf (not in contact with the base) for about 55 minutes. If you notice the pie is turning too golden halfway through, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil 23. The savory pie with black cabbage is ready; wait a few minutes before removing it from the mold and enjoying it 24!

Storage

The savory pie with black cabbage can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, covered with plastic wrap or under a cake dome.
If you prefer, you can also freeze it if you've used fresh ingredients. In this case, you can slice it before putting it in the freezer.

Advice

Is Edam cheese not your favorite? Choose the cheese you love the most for your savory pie with black cabbage: it will always be a great choice! For a more rustic touch, we suggest adding diced bacon, sweet or smoked; you'll see what a delight. And why not some parboiled potatoes?
