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
Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a food processor. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the onion, spring onions, and parsley, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the cabbage and vegetables.
Add the flour, black pepper, and salt.
Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined into a thick, veggie-packed batter.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
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
Scoop spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture into the hot oil, flattening each fritter slightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Fry each fritter for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 5: Serve Warm
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.
