These crispy and flavorful cabbage patties are a delicious and easy way to enjoy cabbage in a new way. They are golden brown on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with herbs and spices. Perfect as a snack, side dish, or even a light meal, these patties are budget-friendly and a great way to use up leftover cabbage.
Ingredients:
• 3 cups finely shredded cabbage
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour (or breadcrumbs for extra crispiness)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon baking powder (for fluffier patties)
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little spice)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill
• ¼ cup milk (if needed for moisture)
• 2–3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and chopped onion.
2. Add eggs, flour (or breadcrumbs), Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, baking powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
3. If the mixture is too dry, add a little milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together.
4. Stir in fresh parsley or dill for added flavor.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
6. Scoop out small portions of the cabbage mixture and shape them into patties.
7. Place patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
• For a healthier version, bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Add shredded cheese for a cheesy variation.
• Use chickpea flour instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
