CABBAGE AND ONION TORTA
The easiest way to get everyone to love cabbage is to encase it in flaky pastry and bake until golden. This torta, filled with browned onions, silky cabbage, and plenty of creamy fontina cheese, might just be the best way you've ever eaten what is arguably a challenging vegetable. It's at its most appealing served warm, with the cheese still a little gooey. But when fully cooled it becomes picnic or lunchbox fare, sturdy enough to slice up and carry with you. The smoked ham is purely optional, but is does add a pleasing porky flavor to the mix. And if you can't find fontina, try Gruyere, Swiss or muenster instead.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, combine flours and 7 grams (1 1/2 teaspoons) salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut in butter until it forms coarse crumbs. Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups very cold water, working it in a few tablespoons at a time, until mixture just comes together. Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil and stir in cabbage, a handful at a time, waiting for each addition to wilt slightly before adding more. Season with 5 grams (1 teaspoon) salt and some pepper. Cook until cabbage is tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and cook until evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Taste and add more salt, vinegar or both, as needed.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and stir in bread crumbs, garlic and thyme. Cook until bread crumbs begin to color, about 1 minute. Scrape into a bowl.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Oil a large baking sheet.
- On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 17-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer to the baking sheet. With the long side facing you, spread half the bread crumbs evenly over right half of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with half the cheese, then cover cheese with half the cabbage mixture. Repeat layers. Sprinkle ham over the top if desired.
- Dab edges of dough with water. Fold left half over filling and use the tines of a fork to seal edges. Brush crust with egg yolk. Using a knife, cut several slits in the center of the top crust. Transfer pie to oven and bake until crust is golden brown and firm, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm, or reheat before serving.

SAUTéED CABBAGE AND ONIONS
Steps:
- I find that when I buy a good-sized green cabbage and use a small amount in a recipe, the remainder often languishes in the fridge. This is an ideal way to use up green cabbage while it still has some flavor. For this preparation, you can use half or even most of a cabbage. In a large skillet or stir-fry pan, sauté a quartered and thinly sliced onion in some olive oil. When it starts to turn golden, stir in thinly sliced cabbage. Cook, covered, until the cabbage wilts. If the pan dries out, add just enough water to moisten. Once the cabbage is wilted, uncover and cook until both the cabbage and onion begin to brown, stirring frequently. Add a sprinkling of poppy seeds, if you like.

Steps:
- Core and shred your cabbage, I do a rough chop, and put aside in a bowl. Then dice your onion, making the pieces medium size.
- Take a 10"skillet and place about 2-3 tablespoons butter, melt the butter and saute the onions until they just start to turn brown around the edges. Add the cabbage and gently fold with the onions, add the remaining butter (just put it in on top of the cabbage,it will melt). Place lid on skillet and simmer at medium heat for 5 minutes. Then uncover, stir the mix and add all your spices. Stir again and place the cover back on and simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
- We like a little body to ours, if you like your cabbage soft just simmer a little longer.
- This is easy, quick and yummy. You can add caraway seeds or other spices to alter to your own tastes.

Steps:
- Combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon thyme in a food processor. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 minutes. With the motor running, slowly pour in ice water until mixture holds together when squeezed. Wrap in plastic, and press into a flat disk. Chill until firm.
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onions, and cook until soft. Add cabbage; reduce heat. Add 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons thyme, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover; cook 10 minutes. Uncover, turn heat up, and cook until liquid is gone.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Quarter dough, and roll into 5-inch circles. Fit into 4-inch flan rings. Add filling, and scatter cheese on top. Fold over pastry edges. Chill until firm. Bake 15 to 20 minutes; serve hot.
Tips:
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the torta so that it has plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Be patient when cooking the torta. It takes time for the cabbage and onions to soften and caramelize.
- If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
- Be careful not to overcook the torta. It should be cooked through but still slightly moist in the center.
- Serve the torta warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Cabbage and onion torta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage and onions. The torta can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It is also a great option for a vegetarian or vegan meal.
