with white cabbage or savoy cabbage

Remove the outer leaves from the white cabbage or savoy cabbage, chop roughly or finely, depending on your preference, and blanch, then drain. Mix the minced meat with the egg and onions (in our part of Hesse, the minced meat is already seasoned). Season with salt and pepper if desired. I use a cabbage dish that I place in a bain-marie, but you can also use a casserole dish with a lid and then put it in the oven. Fill the dish layer by layer with cabbage and minced meat, then simmer in a bain-marie for about 90 minutes or cook in the oven at 180°C with fan. Serve with boiled potatoes and hollandaise sauce with a spoonful of mustard.
