Estonia - Cabbage Pie

This recipe is really unusual, unlike anything I've made before. I feel worried it won't work because I struggled to translate it from Estonian properly. Here we go!

Ingredients:

3 eggs
1 tablespoon of sour cream
5 heaping tablespoons of flour
250 grams mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon of vinegar
1 small white cabbage
salt and pepper 


Cut the cabbage into bite size pieces and saute them in some oil in a frying pan. Add salt & pepper. I was really tempted to eat the cabbage just like this is smelled so good.




Set aside, now it's time to make the 'dough' for the pie. Separate the eggs and stir the yolks into the sour cream.



Add the flour, mayo and the vinegar/bicarb mix. Stir it up.


In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites up until they form stiff peaks. Gently mix them into the other bowl until everything is combined.





Grease and oven-proof dish and pour half of the mixture into it. Now put in the cabbage and top with the other half of the mixture. 



Bake in an oven at 200C for about 20-30 minutes. 


 

The cabbage pie tasted almost like a cabbage cake. Which was strangely delicious. It was very light and fluffy with a salt & peppery, crunchy layer of cabbage running through it. We really enjoyed it. It was unusual with so much mayo in it but it works really well. JD wants to try it with chicken too.
