Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for cabbage patties:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- Add the flour, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and any optional spices or herbs. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture holds together. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more flour or breadcrumbs.
- Form the Patties:
- With your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
- Fry the Patties:
- Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
- Drain and Serve:
- Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Tips:
- You can add other vegetables to the mixture, like grated zucchini or chopped bell peppers, for added flavor and nutrition.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
- If you prefer baking over frying, you can bake the patties in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown.
