What is cabbage?
cabbage is primarily a Russian invention, but can be found in various versions to the west as Greece. Although traditionally prepared as a vegetarian food to celebrate the Russian cabbage-hidden festival Kapustnik , which literally translates into a "cake", the filling can also be stuffed with sausage or ground beef. Overall, it is often loaded with renewed cabbage, onion, carrots and egg boiled hard and then wrapped in a cake bark that is baked until it is scaly and brown.
Cabbage dough can be purchased in stores. Phyllo dough will work best. If the chefs decide to create their own, they do so with a combination of flour, oils, butter, water and the same parts of salt and sugar. For accurate measurements, a recipe for a cake dough should be consulted.
After filming the dough over the bottom of the oily cake pan, the time is then a filling. This includes chopped onions, carrots and cabbage pelvis until caramelized. Many cooks usedThe pickled cabbage residues from cabbage production. The eggs cooked hard should cook simultaneously in another pot of boiling water because they are another traditional part of cabbage. After the eggs are cut into pieces, they are added to vegetables, along with some salt, pepper, tarragon, basil, marjoram and occasionally sour cream and tomato paste. Mushrooms are another common supplement.
When the vegetables are almost cooked, it is poured into a cake pan and then covered with another rolled circle of the dough. Many cooks recommend baking cabbage at two different temperatures. They start at 350 ° F (about 180 ° C) for half an hour and then reduce heat to about 250 ° F (about 120 ° C) for another 20 to 30 minutes. The resulting cake should have dark brown, crispy, but unbalanced shell.
The Russian Festival Kapustnik is not just about cabbage. It is an apology for a number of cultural activities, from theater productions to urban dances. Often meat eaters are included in sausage or ground beef that are added to the cakes.
Greece has long been home to another type of cabbage. The version of this country includes Greece cheese, feta. It also replaces many Russian spices with a merely crushed dill and one or several varieties of original olives - of course for safety.
