Cabbage pies are the first thing that comes to mind when you need to make some kind of Lenten pastry. Firstly, Lenten dough is simple and just as tasty as the non-Lenten dough. Secondly, Lenten cabbage filling is a traditional taste that we have been accustomed to since childhood and which is easy to repeat. Since you can't put eggs in cabbage, liven it up with a set of sautéed carrots and onions - this frying will give the vegetable some vigor. This recipe is a time-tested classic , these are traditional pies without gastronomic tricks and experiments. If you want to add something new to them, try starting with spices - some Asian or a standard set of Mediterranean herbs.
