Ingredients:
2 cups of finely shredded cabbage
3 large eggs
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (or any substitute to keep it gluten-free)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: herbs such as dill or parsley for added flavor
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Cabbage and Onion:
Wash the cabbage thoroughly and shred it finely. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or just your hands to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Make the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the flour, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, chopped onion, and optional herbs if using. Mix everything well until the cabbage is evenly coated with the batter.
Heat the Oil:
Pour enough vegetable oil into a frying pan to cover the bottom and heat it over medium heat.
Fry the Fritters:
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of your spoon to form small patties.
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip them carefully to cook evenly on both sides.
Drain and Serve:
Remove the fritters from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot and crispy. These fritters are delicious on their own or with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestions:
As a Main Dish: Serve these fritters with a light salad for a simple yet satisfying meal.
As a Side Dish: These fritters make a fantastic side for hearty meals like roasted meats or grilled fish.
With Dips: Enjoy them with dips such as yogurt sauce, tahini, or a spicy tomato salsa for extra flavor.
Tips for the Best Fritters:
Removing Moisture: Ensure the cabbage is well-drained to avoid soggy fritters.
Consistency: Adjust the amount of flour based on the moisture content of the cabbage to get a batter that holds together well but isn’t too dense.
Herbs: Adding fresh herbs can significantly enhance the flavor profile of your fritters.
This cabbage and egg fritter recipe is not only a crowd-pleaser but also a fantastic way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. It’s simple, quick, and utterly delicious—perfect for any meal of the day!
