Russian Cabbage Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add cabbage and cook until softened but not browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix cooled cabbage with hard-boiled eggs and dill. Season with salt.
• Line a pie plate with 1 sheet of puff pastry. Add cabbage filling, leaving some space around the edge. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry and pinch edges together. Glaze the top with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift together flour thru salt.
• Cut in butter, then 4 oz cream cheese.
• Roll out 2/3 of dough and line a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish.
• Roll out remaining pastry into a circle big enough to cover dish; chill.
• Spray a large skillet with butter-flavored cooking spray.
• Add onion and cabbage and at least 1/8 tsp (dried) or 1/2 tsp (fresh) of each herb.
• Sauté several minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly until cabbage is wilted& onions are soft; remove from pan.
• Spray skillet again and sauté mushrooms 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Spread other 4 oz cream cheese in the bottom of the pie shell.
• Arrange the eggs in a layer over the cream cheese.
• Sprinkle with a little dill, then cover with cabbage mixture, then a layer of the mushrooms.
• Cover with pastry circle, press crusts together tightly at the edges and flute with a fork.
• Cut a few short slashes in the top crust for steam to escape.
• Bake at 400°F 15 minutes.
• Turn temperature down to 350° and bake 20-25 minutes until crust is light brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Place 1 TBSP butter in a small dish. Set aside (somewhere warm) to soften.
• Measure flour into large bowl. Add sour cream, sugar, and salt. Beat egg and add. Add softened butter. Stir together thoroughly, adding flour if too sticky to make into a ball. Shape into a ball, and stick in the freezer for 1/2 hour.
• After happily washing up your dough-making mess (you have some time), prepare your cabbage. Put the cabbage in a medium pot with 2 TBSP butter, and cook on medium heat, stirring regularly, about 10 minutes or until tender. While cabbage cooks, boil water in another pot and cook a hardboiled egg.
• After 1/2 hour has passed and your dough ball is cold, stir the hardboiled egg (crumbled) and salt and sugar (to taste) to your pot of cabbage. Turn off the heat. Grease a large pan.
• Roll the dough out to about 3 mm thick, on a floured surface. Cut circles using a mug (or round cookie cutter). Place a spoonful of filling in each circle (one at a time). Pinch closed. Be patient! This takes some practise . . .
• Place dumplings in greased pan. Roll out leftover dough as needed until you've used it all up. (No need to re-refrigerate.).
• Put pan in the oven and cook 20-25 minutes, until fork comes out clean from dough. (This is when you get to clean the rest of the mess! :) ).
• Serve with sour cream, and hot sauce if you like. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, cabbage and vinegar; increase heat to medium. Cover pan and cook 4 minutes; uncover, toss and cook 2 more minutes. Remove vegetables from pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
• Wipe out skillet, add olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add salmon and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook salmon 5 minutes per side; remove to a plate and let cool. Flake salmon into large chunks and set aside.
• Set a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll out until it is large enough to fit a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate, allowing extra dough to drape over edge.
• Spread brown rice over bottom of pastry. Peel and chop the hard-boiled egg, then add to pie, followed by flaked salmon. Sprinkle with cheese, then bread crumbs. Mound vegetable mixture on top. Sprinkle with parsley and drizzle cream over top.
• Roll out remaining sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is large enough to cover pie. Brush rim of bottom pastry with water and place second sheet of pastry directly on top. Using kitchen scissors or a paring knife, trim off excess dough. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pie together and help the sheets of pastry adhere.
• Cut a few small slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape. Brush top of pie with beaten egg. Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
