Ingredients

• • White Cabbage: 1/2 medium-sized head, finely sliced (approx. 300g)
  • Carrot: 1, peeled and grated
  • Onion: 1/2, finely chopped

• • Avocado Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Egg: 1
  • Sour Cream: 1 tablespoon

  • Cheese: 30g (approx. 1/4 cup), grated (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
  • Tomato: 1-2, sliced into rings

Directions

Prepare the Cabbage:

• • Add finely sliced cabbage to a pot of boiling water and cook for no more than 2 minutes.

• Drain the cabbage and let it cool.

Sauté the Carrot and Onion:

• • Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.

• Add chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
• Add grated carrot and cook for another 3 minutes until softened.

Combine Ingredients:

• In a mixing bowl, combine cooked cabbage, sautéed onion and carrot, egg, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
• Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Cook the Cabbage Mixture in the Skillet:

• In the same skillet, spread the cabbage mixture evenly and cook over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown (about 5 minutes).
• Use a plate to flip the dish, then return it to the pan to cook the other side until golden (about 5 more minutes).

Add Toppings:

• Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
• Arrange tomato slices on top and cook for an additional minute.

Garnish and Serve:

• Garnish with fresh herbs like coriander or parsley before serving.
• Slice and enjoy warm.

Serving Suggestions

• • Serve as a light lunch or dinner with a side of fresh salad.
  • Pair with crusty bread or garlic toast for a complete meal.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on the side for extra creaminess.

Cooking Tips

• • Avoid overcooking the cabbage during boiling to maintain a slightly firm texture.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to make flipping the dish easier.

• Experiment with additional spices or herbs like paprika or dill for extra flavor.
