Ingredients
-
1 small cabbage (finely shredded)
-
1 onion (finely diced)
-
1 carrot (grated)
-
2 eggs (beaten)
-
4 tablespoons flour (all-purpose)
-
Spices: Salt, Black Pepper, Paprika, and Dried Garlic (to taste)
-
Olive oil (for frying)
Preparation Steps
-
Prep the Vegetables: Shred the cabbage thinly and grate the carrot. Dice the onion into small pieces.
-
Tip: If the cabbage is very firm, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt and massage it for a minute to soften the fibers.
-
-
Sauté (Optional but Recommended): Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan. Sauté the onion and carrot for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add the cabbage and cook for another 5 minutes until it wilts slightly. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
-
Create the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk the 2 eggs. Stir in the 4 tablespoons of flour and all your spices (salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic) until you have a smooth paste.
-
Combine: Fold your vegetable mixture into the egg and flour batter until everything is evenly coated.
-
Fry: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop large spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten them slightly with a spatula.
-
Cook to Perfection: Fry for about 3–4 minutes per side until they are a deep golden brown and crispy.
