Ingredients (Makes 10–12 fritters)

• 1/2 head cabbage, finely shredded
• 3 large eggs
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2–3 spring onions, chopped
• A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 tablespoons flour (or gluten-free alternative, like chickpea or almond flour)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Cooking oil for frying (e.g., olive oil, vegetable oil, or avocado oil)

Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage and Vegetables

1. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a food processor. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
2. Chop the onion, spring onions, and parsley, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

1. Crack the eggs into the bowl with the cabbage and vegetables.
2. Add the flour, black pepper, and salt.
3. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined into a thick, veggie-packed batter.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

1. Heat a thin layer of cooking oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when the batter is added.

Step 4: Fry the Fritters

1. Scoop spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture into the hot oil, flattening each fritter slightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
2. Fry each fritter for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
3. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 5: Serve Warm

1. Arrange the fritters on a serving platter and serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with sour cream, yogurt dip, or a tangy tzatziki sauce.
• Serve alongside a fresh green salad for a light, healthy meal.
• Add to a breakfast spread with eggs, avocado, and toast.

Tips for Success

• Shred Finely: The finer the cabbage, the easier it will cook and hold together in the fritter.
• Customize the Flavor: Add grated cheese, chili flakes, or spices like paprika or cumin for an extra kick.
• Gluten-Free Option: Use almond flour, chickpea flour, or your favorite gluten-free blend.
• Avoid Excess Water: If the cabbage releases too much liquid, gently squeeze it before mixing the batter.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm the fritters in a frying pan over low heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
