Stuffed Red Cabbage Leaves

Vasilis Giaslakiotis, “Absence” (included in the cd "Dretta").

The folk heritage of Greece has inspired jazz and world jazz musicians living and creating in their homeland. Many of them have written pieces based on popular dance tunes and songs, creating thus a living bond between the past and the present of the Greek culture. In his riveting project called "Dretta", Vasilis Giaslakiotis revisits the traditional music of Crete and blends it with jazz and rock elements.

Food should never be wasted — only transformed. So, please don’t throw away your leftover pita filling; it deserves a second life! I gave mine — a vibrant mix of beetroot, spinach, red chard, spring onion, mint, sweet trahanas, and feta — a delicious new purpose by using it to stuff tender red cabbage leaves. The result? An exciting, colourful dish that celebrates resourcefulness and bids a fond farewell to springtime flavours.
