Cabbage filling for pies is deservedly popular among our housewives. It cannot be otherwise, because it is an inexpensive and healthy vegetable that can always be found in the store.
The filling for sauerkraut pies is also tasty. How to prepare this component of the pie correctly? How to make cabbage pies filling really tasty? We will help you find answers to these questions.
There are a large number of recipes for making cabbage fillings for pies, but there are a few general culinary rules that we will remind you. When choosing this vegetable for pies, it is better to take a small but dense head of cabbage. Before cooking, be sure to clean it of spoiled leaves and thick stems, rinse it, and remove the stalk.
Remember: the taste depends on how you cut the vegetable.
You can chop it, that is, cut it thinly, with an ordinary knife, or you can do this with the help of a special device - a shredder. Onions are usually added to the cabbage filling.
If the filling is made without heat treatment, then the onion is simply chopped; if the filling is stewed or fried, then the onion needs to be fried. Ideal seasonings for it are salt and sugar, pepper, parsley.
Recipes for fresh cabbage fillings
The fresh cabbage filling is the simplest. We'll tell you how to prepare it. We will need one medium head of cabbage, a couple of boiled chicken eggs, herbs, and salt. Add salt to the chopped vegetable and mash with your hands to release the juice. Finely chop the parsley and egg, mix all ingredients. The delicious filling is ready. It is suitable for both oven-baked and fried pies. If you don’t have chicken eggs at home, you can prepare the filling without them.
If you have more time, another filling recipe with cabbage and egg will do. Place shredded cabbage in a frying pan with butter or vegetable oil and fry until half cooked. In this case, the pies will have a pleasant crunch. You can bake kupasta in the oven at a temperature of 180-200°C.
In this case, the frying pan must be closed with a tight lid and placed on the lowest shelf. When ready, remove from the oven, cool, add chopped egg, fried onion, and salt to taste. Remember: if you salt the hot filling or do it before cooking, it will release a large amount of juice. In this case, the cabbage will turn out watery, which will negatively affect the taste and quality of the baked goods.
If fried foods are contraindicated for your family members for some reason, then try the following recipe. Cut the head of cabbage into pieces lengthwise and boil in hot salted water for 7-8 minutes. Then drain in a colander, squeeze lightly, chop finely. Add hard-boiled chopped egg, fried onion, mix. In this case, for 800 g of cabbage you will need 2-3 onions, 2 hard-boiled chicken eggs.
Some housewives prefer to prepare cabbage filling without eggs. We will also tell you how to prepare it. In this case, you can choose a filling with carrots and tomato paste.
To prepare you will need:
- medium head of cabbage (weighing approximately 1 kg);
- 2-3 onions;
- 1 medium carrot;
- 6 tbsp. spoons of tomato paste;
- vegetable oil for frying;
- salt, sugar;
- ground red and black pepper;
- Bay leaf.
Shred the cabbage and mash it with your hands to make it softer. Wash and peel the carrots and onions. Carrots can be chopped or grated on a coarse grater. Cut the onion into cubes. Pour a little vegetable oil into a large frying pan and fry the onions and carrots. Add the cabbage and mix well so that the frying is evenly distributed throughout the cabbage.
Dilute tomato paste in a glass of warm boiled water. Pour into the filling, add 1 more glass of water. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, do not cover. Add salt, sugar, bay leaf, a pinch of red and black pepper each and continue to simmer until the liquid evaporates. Please note that there are no eggs in this recipe, but the filling will still be filling.
For those who like to work magic at the stove, we offer another filling option with cabbage and egg. We start preparing it by processing the onions. Cut 3-4 onions into thin half rings and place in a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, put on the stove, add salt, you can add sugar, and simmer until soft and translucent.
While the onion is stewing, place the thinly sliced cabbage in a saucepan and pour boiling water over it, add salt, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. If the onion is ready by this time, then take a handful of cabbage, squeeze it out of the moisture and put it in a frying pan with the onion. It will take a long time to tinker, but the result is worth it.
Add a piece of butter to the cabbage, put the frying pan on the fire and wait for the butter to spread. Remove from heat, cool, add finely chopped herbs and hard-boiled eggs. Salt, you can add black pepper. The beauty of this filling is that it can be stored frozen.
