sounds salty.
hi fleababe,
the amount of salt in this dish really depends on the kind of tortilla chips you use. check the sodium count before you buy, and, of course, eliminate the tsp of salt in the recipe.
thanks for writing!
This dish sounds like a really interesting combination. I would have never thought of cabbage and green olives going together! We call casseroles "hot dish" in MN :-) Were you satisfied with the results?
hi strivingbean,
thanks for writing.
yes, i am happy with this dish. i make it a lot (i'm a BIG fan of cabbage!). i find it such a versatile vegetable--you can use it in the foods of so many countries. and yes, i thought the olives worked well. try it and let me know what you think!
We love cabbage as well, but have two questions. First of all, where are the baking directions? Secondly, are you supposed to drain the tomatoes? We didn't, baked the concoction at 365 for 30 minutes, and the cabbage cooked nicely, but there was a fair amount of soup at the bottom of the casserole dish. We thought we might add the cheese and chips in another layer of the dish. That lends a nice corn flavor, and we might then omit the olives.
hi barb,
well, my mom used to make it without the olives, so feel free to omit them (i like them!). i can't believe i omitted the baking instructions!!! (now corrected). 325 for one hour should keep it solid, but the juice has never bothered me (probably less than what you experienced). you could substitute the whole tomatoes for an equal amount of crushed tomatoes (thicker). adding more cheese and chips would be another method. working on another version of this with refried beans and whole corn. coming soon!
Sounds wonderful! I'm a big fan of cabbage too and I'm thinking this is a great way to get my celiac kid (who is picking) to try something new! Thanks for sharing it!
this was a real favorite at our house when we were kids and now my sister and i make it, too!
can your child eat certified gluten-free oatmeal? if so, check out the oatmeal cookies (another old favorite made gluten-free).
