    Torta de RepolloPin

    This Torta de Repollo or Cabbage Cake is a traditional Colombian recipe that is usually served with tomato sauce. You can serve it as a main dish for a light lunch, or as a dinner side to meat, poultry and seafood dishes as well.

    Cooked cabbage is one of those foods that I hated when I was a kid. I guess it was the texture, because I didn't have a problem eating uncooked cabbage. My grandmother used to make many different Colombian dishes with cabbage, and I couldn't even look at them. Now I regret having missed out on all those cooked cabbage dishes that I refused to even try!

    Buen provecho!

      Glad you are well and back with a recipe. My children hate cabbage as well so I don't cook it often but this one looks fabulous.

      Interesting...I would have never thought to make a cabbage omelet but there is no reason it shouldn't taste good, for sure!

      Looks wonderful, Erica. I do love cabbage and often just cook it and then brown it in a pan. Love the idea of adding cheese and some scallions to make a little frittata!

      My husband's culture (Easter European) uses a ton of cabbage in everything. Didn't know Colombians do, too! You have made a beautiful little cake there, and I cannot wait to try it!!!

      I LOVE this recipe! I have tried for home, for guests, for church, everyone has loved it. I didn't know about this cake, now we buy a cabbage on every grocery shopping just to make it again and again. The only change I have made is using leeks instead of scallions, just because the first time I tried it I didn't have any. The leeks gives it an amazing flavor, delicious with butter. Thank you!
