- Boil not too much water, and when the water is boiling, put the cabbage into the pot only for a while so that the cabbage taste still remains. And then take them out and drained the water. Let the cabbage cool down.
- Preheat the frying pan, and when it is already preheated well, add some oil.

- Add a little bit of freshly ground pepper, and mix it.
- The filling should be quite salty and distinctively spicy, because it will be moderated by the pastry. So, add some more salt if needed.
- The filling is ready. Turn the flame off and leave to cool down.
Pastry shell- Take 1 kilogram of flour.
- Take the yeast and mix it with 4 tablespoon of sugar to activate them.
- Add 1 glass of water to the yeast and mix it.
- Start making the dough. First, form a hill with a hole. Adding some oil, and some water.
- Knead it slowly so that the water and oil do not escape outside the flour.
- When the oil and water are absorbed into the flour, add another portion of water and oil at the same time.
- Add in the water with yeast and a little bit of oil.
- Mix it with a small amount of flour in the middle, so that a slightly thinner dough is created first.
- Add the rest of water with the yeast, and folding it in with the rest of the flour.
- When the dough is still not kneaded, add quite a generous 2 pinches of salt.
- Grate a little bit of nutmeg and add it into the dough.
- Knead it again. And if the dough is still too dry, add some more water to get the right consistency.
- Keep kneading it to such a consistency that it does not stick to the hands.
- Sprinkle some flour on the board so that it does not stick.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts and cover them with a moist cloth so that it does not dry out.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven and prepare a baking tray, greased with oil.
- Take the dough that already rising, roll it on the board. Sprinkle it with some flour so that it does not stick to the rolling pin.
- Roll the dough, and cut out small circles that will become the wrap for the filling.
- Put the filling into the prepared circles.
- Remember to not to put too much filling inside, otherwise it will be quite difficult to seal the coulibiacs.
- Fold the edge, press quite firmly, and then form a so called braid.
- Do it by putting the thumb on the edge of the coulibiac from the top and fold it to resembling a braid.
- Put the ready coulibiacs on the baking tray. Not too close one to one another so that they do not stick together because they will expand a little.
- Bake the coulibiacs at about 180 degrees Celsius for about 20-25 minutes.
- The coulibiacs is ready to be served with the borscht.
