# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Unroll 1 sheet (10 oz) frozen puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tbsp water to create an egg wash, setting it aside for later.
02 -
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped, and cook for 5-7 minutes until it softens. Stir in 3 cloves garlic, minced, and continue to cook for another minute until fragrant.
03 -
Add 1 1/2 lbs green cabbage, thinly sliced, to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted. Stir in 1/2 tsp caraway seeds, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Remove from heat and mix in 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. This hearty filling is key for the Best Crispy Cabbage Pie with Dill Cream Sauce.
04 -
Spoon the cooled cabbage mixture evenly onto one half of the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Carefully fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a turnover shape. Crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Brush the top with the prepared egg wash.
05 -
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is beautifully puffed, golden brown, and crispy. For the Best Crispy Cabbage Pie with Dill Cream Sauce, ensure the crust is deeply golden. Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
06 -
While the pie bakes, prepare the Zesty Dill Cloud. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup full-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Season with 1/4 tsp black pepper and salt to taste. Stir well until smooth. This sauce perfectly complements the Best Crispy Cabbage Pie with Dill Cream Sauce.
07 -
Slice the rested Best Crispy Cabbage Pie with Dill Cream Sauce into 6 generous portions. Serve warm with a generous dollop of the freshly prepared Zesty Dill Cloud on the side. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish!
# Notes:
01 -
For a lighter sauce, you can substitute full-fat sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
02 -
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispiness.
03 -
When cooking the cabbage, avoid overcrowding the skillet. If necessary, cook in two batches to ensure it wilts and browns slightly, rather than steaming.
04 -
This pie makes a fantastic light lunch, a hearty appetizer, or a unique side dish for a family meal.
