Half of the vegetable mixture goes right into the meat to keep it moist, the rest piles on top. Hearty, budget-friendly and the kind of homely dinner the whole family asks for again and again.

What you'll need.

For the patties

  • 700 g minced meat
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cumin, to taste
  • Green onion, chopped

For the cabbage topping

  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • Garlic, chopped
  • Cabbage, sliced
  • Oregano, to taste
  • Fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • Oil for frying

How to make it.

  1. Fry the chopped onions, grated carrot, garlic and sliced cabbage in a little oil until soft. Stir in the oregano, dill and sour cream.
  2. Mix the minced meat with the egg, salt, pepper, cumin, green onion and half of the cabbage mixture.
  3. Form the meat into cutlets and place them on a baking tray.
  4. Spoon the remaining cabbage mixture over each cutlet.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes at 180°C (350°F), until cooked through and golden.
  6. Serve hot.

My tips.

Mixing some of the vegetables into the meat keeps the cutlets juicy. Let them rest a couple of minutes after baking before serving.

Good to know.

Can I make it ahead?
Shape the cutlets and prep the topping ahead, then bake when needed.

Which meat is best?
A pork and beef mix gives the juiciest result, but any minced meat works.

Can I freeze them?
Yes. Freeze before baking and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
