What can I make with cabbage, you ask?
I have a tasty main dish recipe for you. This recipe makes 6 main dish size turnovers. They freeze well for a last minute meal in the future.
Pastry Dough
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/3 teaspoon Salt
1/4 pound Butter
3-5 Tablespoons Water
Filling
2 cups sliced Potatoes
3 Tablespoons Butter
2 cups chopped Cabbage
1 cup finely chopped Onions
1 cup Cottage Cheese
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 egg
1/2 Salt
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Dill (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Parsley
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Chives or scallions
1/2 teaspoon ground Caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
*********
1 egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon of water
sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping
In food processor, mix the flour & salt thoroughly. Cut in the butter. Mix in a small amount of water at a time until a ball can formed. Chill dough for at least 15 minutes.
Boil potatoes until fork tender, then drain & mash in a large bowl. Saute cabbage & onions in butter in a covered skillet until tender, about 15 minutes. Add them to the potatoes & stir in all the remaining ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Divide the pastry dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each ball into a thin circle, approx. 6 inches in diameter. Place two or three heaping tablespoons of the filling in the center of each circle. Brush the edges with the egg wash & fold over to form a half-moon. Press the edges with your fingers or a fork to seal. Carefully lift each piroshki with the spatula & place it on an oiled baking sheet. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash & sprinkle with seeds.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Top with sour cream to serve.

oh, this looks yummy! we love cabbage at our house. I like mixing the dark purple with the green. Our favorite snack around here is cabbage grilled in olive oil, with a broccoli slaw. So yummy!!
I want to make this!!
p.s. my "word verification" is "wined" -- and I think that is excellent. Perfect to go with "dined." :)
Cabbage is also super-tasty in fish tacos.
I had a craving for corned beef last week, picked some up at Costco, got a head of cabbage at Safeway, so we'll eat it on Sunday! I'll use the leftover cabbage to try this out later in the week! Thanks!
So, is the flour amount right in that recipe? I barely had enough dough to make the 6 (small) circles, which also means I had a TON of filling left over. Which was fine, since the 6 piroushkis (sp?) barely fed our family (do we eat too much?). Even though there was MUCH labor at the table, the kids actually ate their dinner! Yay!
Sara - it is the correct amount of flour. But, I do agree. The dough to filling ratio seems off. I always have some extra filling. You could just double the dough recipe & maybe have some extra for a baby sized pie!
