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.
