Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt (to taste)
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage (coarsely chopped)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup vegetable broth or water (as needed)
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • Freshly minced dill or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the chopped cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and add broth or water for moisture. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until softened.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with milk and salt. Gradually fold in flour until a sticky dough forms; add herbs if desired.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of dough over the cabbage mixture, cover tightly, and steam on medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes until puffed.
  5. Serve warm, drizzled with melted butter if desired.
