Alissa Timoshkina’s layered cabbage pie (golubsty) is an awesome, one-pot dish that makes an impressive yet modest centrepiece; it’s also a brilliant way to use up tough outer cabbage leaves and leftover rice. Alissa, who with Olia Hercules co-founded the #cookforukraine initiative, uses dill or parsley in the mix, adding: “This dish works really well with just the stalks. And if your herbs aren’t all that fresh, put them in at the very start – the stalks soften and the flavour gets quite intense.”
