Method
 

Preparation
  1. Finely shred the cabbage and chop the green onions. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cabbage and mix well.
  3. Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the cabbage mixture and gently toss until combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 9-10 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage mixture, spread it evenly, and press with a spatula. Cover and cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  2. Once the base is crispy, loosen with a spatula and flip onto a large plate. Cook, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes until golden.
Sauce Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, and seasoning. Stir.
Serving
  1. Cool slightly before slicing; serve with dill sauce or drizzle on top. Garnish with extra dill or onions if desired.

Notes

Use a cast-iron skillet for an extra-crispy crust. This dish is adaptable; feel free to blend in other vegetables or herbs.
