Ingredients
- 1 kg cabbage shredded
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 sheets phyllo pastry
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper freshly ground

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the cabbage is softened and reduced in volume, about 10-15 minutes.

- Place a portion of the cabbage filling along the long edge of the folded pastry. Roll it up tightly into a cylinder.
- Repeat the process with the remaining pastry sheets and filling. Arrange the rolls in a lightly greased baking dish.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden glaze.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Banitsa with Cabbage warm.

Easy recipe, but I think I overcooked the cabbage. Next time I’ll watch it better. Still tasted okay!

I don’t know about this recipe. Cabbage in a pastry? Sounds weird. But maybe it could be good… 🤔
I thought the same thing, but trust me, it’s really tasty! Just give it a chance! 🥳
