Ingredients
- 1/2 head of cabbage, finely shredded
- 3 eggs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Chopped spring onions
- Chopped parsley
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- Cooking oil for frying
Crispy, flavorful, and easy-to-make fritters packed with vegetables and herbs.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cabbage Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped onion, spring onion, and parsley.
- Crack in the eggs and mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.
2. Add Dry Ingredients
- Sprinkle in the flour, black pepper, and salt.
- Mix until a thick, cohesive batter forms. Adjust the flour if the mixture is too runny.
3. Shape the Fritters
- Scoop small portions of the mixture (around 2 tablespoons) and gently flatten them into patties.
4. Fry the Fritters
- Heat a thin layer of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the fritters into the hot oil, ensuring they are spaced out to avoid sticking.
- Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
5. Serve
- Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, paired with yogurt, sour cream, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
Variations
- Cheesy Twist
- Add grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan) to the batter for a richer flavor.
- Spicy Option
- Incorporate chili flakes, chopped jalapeños, or paprika for a spicy kick.
- Gluten-Free
- Replace regular flour with chickpea flour, rice flour, or almond flour for a gluten-free version.
- Protein Boost
- Add cooked shredded chicken, minced meat, or canned tuna to the batter for extra protein.
- Vegetable Medley
- Mix in grated carrots, zucchini, or finely chopped bell peppers for added color and flavor.
- Herb Variations
- Substitute parsley with dill, cilantro, or chives to experiment with different herb profiles.
Tips for Success
- Shredding Cabbage: Use a sharp knife or food processor for even shredding.
- Binding the Mixture: If the batter feels too loose, add a little more flour or an extra egg.
- Frying Temperature: Keep the oil medium-hot to cook the fritters evenly without burning.
- Batch Cooking: Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a simple salad, tzatziki, or sweet chili sauce for a complete meal.
