Directions
Cabbage Snails, Pies made of phyllo pastry that are baked in a ‘snail’ shape are very popular in Greece This one is unusual in that the filling is more eastern European in origin Works great This would probably be eaten as a substantial snack or as a proper meal , My god, Evelyn these are SO GOOD The filling is delicious I sort-of halved/three-quartered the recipe and improvised a bit as I didn’t have a whole head of cabbage left I also added about a half cup of coarsely chopped walnuts, which add nice crunchy bits I also don’t have a mortar and tried to whizz my caraway in my food processor with no luck, so I just stuck them in whole, which I didn’t think made a difference at all This is my first time dealing with filo, so that part was a little tricky and I found it difficult to twist the snails into shape, so I made 2 snails, 2 square pouches and 2 that were just folded in half like a closed V all equally delcious This recipe brings the humble cabbage to unbelievable heights Thank you so much for posting , This dish is fabulous! We had it at our party at school and it was a big hit! Now if I can figure out how to get the photo on Zaar, you will have a yummy pic to go with your great recipe!!!The lady that made them was from Kosovo, so its not entirely from Greek origins!!
