Another Sabaya recipe – this time it’s cabbage! I forget how awesome cabbage is until I have it. This recipe is amazing and I’m going to be making it again, and again, and again. I was getting so hungry while kneading the dough, but once the sabaya is cooked the smell is unbearably amazing.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 medium cabbage, shredded (About 3 cups)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cups white flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3/4 cup warm water


METHOD:

  • Heat the oil in a pan, add the cabbage and the onion.
  • Cook until the cabbage is soft, remove from heat and let cool.
  • Combine the water, flour, salt, pepper, garlic, and the cabbage mixture in a bowl, and mix to form a dough.
  • Knead on a lightly floured surface for 15 minutes.
  • Cover and set aside in a warm place for 2 hours. (The longer it sits, the easier it is to roll.)
  • Knead for 2 minutes on a heavily floured surface and then divide into 4 pieces.
  • Lightly coat each piece in flour and flatten slightly.
  • Flatten with a rolling pin until each piece is very thin and shaped like a square; brush with oil.
  • Fold and set aside. See instructions on how to fold here.
  • Flatten with a rolling pin until each piece is about 5mm thick.
  • Preheat a skillet over low – medium heat and brush with oil.
  • Place one sabaya in the pan and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Brush with oil and then flip.
  • Gently press down the sabaya so that it cooks evenly on the bottom.
  • Flip and continue cooking on the other side until cooked.
  • Remove and place on a paper towel.
  • Store in an air tight container or Ziplock.
