Ingredients
1 large head green cabbage, outside leaves only
2 pounds onions, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons olive oil
6 anchovies, diced
¼ pound black olives, pitted and chopped
2 eggs
¼ pint light cream
¼ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Blanch the cabbage leaves for two minutes in boiling water to soften them. Drain.
- Step 2
In a heavy frying pan, saute the onions in the butter and olive oil over low heat until transparent. Mix in the anchovies and olives and set aside.
- Step 3
Beat the eggs in a bowl and add the cream, thyme and nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the onion mixture and stir well.
- Step 4
Arrange the cabbage leaves in a buttered baking dish so that the tops hang over the sides. Pour in the filling and close the tops over it. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a bainmarie in the center of the oven for one hour, or until set. Meanwhile, make the sauce (see recipe).
