Pie with Red Cabbage

Pie with Red Cabbage
This pie with red cabbage is easy to prepare. The main ingredient is the red cabbage; in addition there are also the potatoes, the raw ham and the Asiago cheese. The potatoes combine very well with the red cabbage. The raw ham gives a more tasty flavour and with the use of the Asiago cheese you mix better the ingredients all together. The pastry that I used here it was home-made, simply prepared with flour, water and salt but if you don’t have a lot of time you can even use the flaky pastry ready for use. This pie can be thin or more thick according to the number of layers that you put inside, what I prepared here was a delicious thick pie.

250 g or 1 cup of Flour
