Cabbage Fritters

Ingredients

• 3 cups finely shredded cabbage
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
• ¼ cup grated cheese (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic
• 2–3 tablespoons oil for frying
• Optional: herbs like parsley, dill, or chives

Instructions

1. Prep the cabbage
   • Place shredded cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
   • Let sit 5–10 minutes, then squeeze out excess water.
2. Mix the batter
   • In a large bowl, combine cabbage, onion, eggs, flour, cheese, spices, and herbs.
   • Stir until well mixed; the mixture should hold together.
3. Heat the pan
   • Add oil to a skillet over medium heat.
4. Fry the fritters
   • Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the skillet.
   • Flatten slightly with a spatula.
   • Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain & serve
   • Place fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or a dipping sauce of your choice.

Variations

• Spicy: Add chopped chili or cayenne
• Cheesy: Mix in feta or Parmesan
• Vegan: Use flax egg (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water per egg) instead of eggs
