- 6 Tbsps melted butter

Preparation steps
Blanch the cabbage in boiling salted water for around 3 minutes. Drain and rinse. Remove the hard ribs and slice the leaves.
Fry the bread in 2 Tbsp hot butter until golden brown. Pat dry with kitchen paper and mix with the cabbage, shallot-garlic mixture, egg, feta, herbs, and nuts. Season well with salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg.
Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spread out the pastry sheets and halve lengthways. Spread some of the cabbage mixture onto the upper end of the pastry sheets and fold the long side over it. Fold the short sides sides in to form a parcel and place the parcels with the short sides down on the prepared baking tray. Brush with the remaining butter and bake for 20-25 min until golden.
To make the dip, mix together the yogurt, sour cream, and lemon juice. Stir in the dill and season with salt and ground black pepper. Remove the parcels from the oven and serve with the dip.
