Ingredients:
- 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional, for added flavor)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by finely shredding 2 cups of cabbage and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 finely chopped small onion and 2 minced garlic cloves for extra flavor.
2. Mix the Batter
- Crack 1 large egg into the bowl with the cabbage mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour to bind the ingredients. If you want an extra boost of flavor, add 1/4 cup of grated cheese at this stage.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste and stir everything together until well combined. You should have a thick, slightly sticky batter.
3. Form the Patties
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil or vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop out small portions of the cabbage mixture and shape them into patties. Flatten them slightly with a spoon or spatula for even cooking.
4. Fry the Patties
- Place the patties in the frying pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry each patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Make sure to cook them over medium heat so they cook through without burning.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Once the patties are golden and crisp, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy while warm!
