Method of cooking vegetarian gratin from savoy cabbage
Remove from the head of damaged leaves. By the way, I advise you to leave the top, largest leaves of cabbage for cooking stuffed cabbage - you can wrap a lot of stuffing in such leaves! We cut cabbage leaves into strips 1 cm wide or a little thinner.
In a saucepan, heat the water to a boil, add salt. We throw Savoy cabbage into boiling water, blanch it for 2-3 minutes, put it on a sieve. In such a short time, the heat treatment of chlorophyll in the leaves will remain, the cabbage will remain bright green.
Put the chopped vegetables in a pan, smeared with olive oil: first chopped onions, then grated carrot, diced tomatoes and sweet Bulgarian pepper. Stew vegetables on moderate heat for 15 minutes. To taste, you can add chili pepper, if you like spicy food.
Boil the arborio rice until done. Mix boiled rice with vegetables, sprinkle with ground pepper, salt to taste, mix thoroughly.
Before cooking, thoroughly wash the rice until the water is clear, pour water in a 1 to 1 ratio, cook for 10-12 minutes without salt.
Pour wheat flour into a bowl, add a pinch of fine salt, pour soy milk. Mix the ingredients with a whisk so that no flour lumps remain.
We grease the refractory form with oil, put half of blanched Savoy cabbage on the bottom of the form. On cabbage leaves put half a mixture of vegetables and rice.
Then put the remaining cabbage, press the ingredients with your hand or a spoon to make an even layer.
Spread the remaining vegetables with rice, distribute evenly, make frequent punctures with a stick or knife, pour out the soy dough.
We grease gratin with mayonnaise. Meanwhile, heat the oven to a temperature of 175 degrees Celsius.
Put the form with gratin on the middle level of the oven, cook 40 minutes until golden brown.
Serving savory cabbage gratin on a table hot or cold, tasty anyway. Enjoy your meal!
By the way, the Savoy cabbage contains the substance ascorbigen, which slows the growth of cancer cells, and due to the alcohol content of mannitol, this cabbage seems sweeter than white cabbage.
