Remove the outer leaves of the white cabbage or savoy cabbage, cut into small pieces or finely grate and blanch, drain.
Mix the meat with egg and onions (in our part of Hesse the meat is already seasoned), otherwise season with salt and pepper.
I have a cabbage top shape that I put in the water bath, but a casserole dish with a lid can also be put in the oven. Fill the form with cabbage and minced meat in layers, then boil for approx. 90 minutes in a water bath or cook in the oven at 180 ° C.
Go with boiled potatoes and hollandaise sauce with a spoonful of mustard.
