Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- Salt, to taste
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 300g cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1/2 glass of water
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Black pepper, to taste
- Spring onion, chopped (for garnish)
- 500-600g potatoes, peeled and grated
- 80-100g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Dried garlic, to taste
- 2 tablespoons wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons tomato concentrate (or paste)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
- In a large frying pan, heat a little vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and grated carrot, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the shredded cabbage and sauté for another 5 minutes until it starts to soften. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken breast and 1/2 glass of water. Add the minced garlic and cook everything together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Prepare the Potato Base:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg, shredded mozzarella, wheat flour, dried garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Assemble the Layers:
- Grease a baking dish or a large frying pan with a bit of vegetable oil.
- Spread half of the potato mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon the chicken and cabbage mixture over the potato layer, spreading it out evenly.
- Top with the remaining potato mixture, pressing it down gently to cover the filling.
- Cook the Dish:
- If using a frying pan, cover it and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the bottom layer to become golden and crispy. Flip carefully and cook for another 10-15 minutes on the other side.
- Alternatively, you can bake the assembled dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on top.
- Add the Tomato Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of tomato concentrate with a little water to thin it out. Spread this mixture over the top of the cooked dish in the last 5 minutes of cooking, then continue cooking until the tomato topping sets.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove from heat or oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped spring onions for a fresh touch.
- Slice and serve hot. This dish pairs perfectly with a side salad or some steamed vegetables.
