Coulibiac with cabbage
And now, when I finally verified with mom our recipe, here is it, as I promised! :-)
Coulibiac with cabbage
1. First of all - filling. You need: head of white cabbage ~ 1 kg
butter ~ 100 gr
3-4 hard-boiled eggs
Finely chop the cabbage, put in a boiling water and leave it here for 5-7 minutes.
Dry cabbage (even wring out), put the batter in the hot cabbage and leave it to cool out.
When the cabbage is cold enough, chop the eggs and mix with the cabbage.
Leave it to stay for awhile. We never salt it, the stuffing is better this way.
2. The pastry. You need: yeast (for a 1/2 kg of pastry, i.e. ~ 1 packet)
1/2 liter of milk
150 gr melted butter
1-2 eggs
salt
flour, as much as the mixture takes
Put together yeast, 0,5 cup of warm milk (cup~ 250 gr), 5 teaspoons of sugar in a bowl, mix and leave it to rise a bit. Mix the rest of the milk, butter, eggs, salt and yeast and add as much flour to make soft, not very stiff pastry (we tell that the pastry is ready when it sort of squeaks). Put the bowl in a warm place for awhile to rise the pastry.
When pastry is ready, roll it out (it must be enough for two coulibiacs, so you could cut it in half). Put the stuffing in the middle, wrap it and pinch together the edges of the pastry.
Put on the baking tray, wash with slightly bitten egg and bake in the moderate oven until it's ready (it depends on your oven, just remember that the stuffing is finished, so you need only pastry to get baked through).
Hope you'll like it.
I'll post the other recipes quicker :-)
