Notes
- Flour - I like to use King's Arthur Measure Measure for Measure, Schar Universal, or Mix C Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 with xantham gum is preferred, but it can be without too. Also, single-ingredient flours such as oat flour (you can easily do it yourself by grinding the oats in a coffee grinder), tapioca, or cassava flour will work just fine.
- This cabbage pie can also be dairy-free - use vegan mayonnaise (it’s quite popular in Europe and the flavor is on par with the original, even better!), soy yogurt, or coconut yogurt. Any plant-based yogurt will do, just make sure it's thick as sour cream or creme fraiche. And yes, the flavor is slightly different, but if you are dairy-free, you already know that and are used to it. We make it with soy products too!
- Slice the cabbage quite thin, just like you would for a coleslaw. We can't work with long strips either. Medium short and very thin slices are ideal for the pie to cook through and as a bonus, it's easier to cut the pie into slices without it falling apart in seconds.
- It has a great texture - soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. This cabbage casserole's flavor is mild but savory. Boost the overall taste with extra herbs, spices, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, tomatoes, or carrots. All are very welcome and make a great breakfast casserole.
