Description

Vegetables baked in the oven transcend what you'd think they're capable of. Cabbage is one of our favorites because you get soooo much quantity for the calories. Here we flavor it with onion, dill, and ricotta. 

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage and salt to taste and cook, stirring often, until cabbage is tender but not browned, 10- 15 minutes. Stir in dill, chopped hard-boiled egg whites, and pepper. Taste and adjust salt. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. 

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F / 176 C. Generously spritz 4 1-cup ramekins or a large soufflé dish with olive oil. Place the ramekins or soufflé dish in a baking pan. 

  3. Beat egg whites and egg in a large bowl and beat in ricotta. Stir in cabbage filling. Add salt to taste and freshly ground pepper. Divide evenly among the ramekins. Fill the baking dish with hot water to at least halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake individual ramekins for 40 to 45 minutes, a larger soufflé or gratin for 50 to 60 minutes, until set and lightly colored. Turn off the oven and prop open the door. Leave for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Let sit for at least another 10 minutes. Serve.
