Torta de repolyo or cabbage omelette is a traditional Colombian dish served with tomato sauce. It can be a light lunch or served as a side. I recently tried in in a restaurant and it was so delicious that I had to find a recipe to do at home. This yummy omelette calls for white cheese, but any kind of cheese would do just fine.

 

Makes 8 Servings

Ingredients:

1/2 cup melted butter

3 scallions, finely chopped

1 large cabbage, cored and thinly sliced

1/2 lb. white cheese, shredded

5 eggs, beaten

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup of bread crumbs

1/4 cup fresh parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Tomato sauce for serving

 

Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, Sauté the scallions in butter for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Add the cabbage and cook it for another 15 minutes or until it becomes tender and a little translucent. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer it to a bowl.

While cooking the cabbage, combine the eggs, milk, cheese, breadcrumbs and parsley in a medium sized bowl. Season it with salt and pepper. Mix well.

Place the cabbage and the egg mixture on a greased baking dish. Bake it for 20-30 minutes at 350F or until the egg is set and the egg is slightly brown. Remove from oven and let it stnd for 2 minutes before serving. Serve with warm tomato sauce.
