Simple Cabbage Cake
Description
Perfect for the table and for pairing with drinks. Depending on the diameter of your skillet, you may end up with a different number of layers; in this recipe, an 18 cm skillet yielded five layers. You can choose the filling to suit your taste and freely swap ingredients: for example, replace sour cream with mayonnaise, use pork instead of chicken mince, and so on. This pie can be served hot or just warm—it will be delicious either way.
