They’re not only vegetarian but also incredibly easy to make. So ditch the takeout menus and surprise your taste buds with this delightful and healthy recipe!

Ingredients:

• • 1/2 head of cabbage, finely shredded (about 7 cups)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped

• • 1 carrot, grated
  • 3 large eggs
  • 500 ml (17 oz) kefir or thick yogurt

• • 300 grams (10.6 oz) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda or baking powder
  • Salt to taste

• Black pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. 1. Prepare the Vegetables: Shred the cabbage as finely as possible. This will ensure even cooking and a pleasant texture in the fritters. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrot. Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl.

   2. Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the kefir or yogurt and whisk until well combined. Gradually add the flour, baking soda or powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until you have a smooth batter that coats the back of a spoon. Gently fold in the vegetable mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

1. Fry the Fritters: Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep. Scoop out portions of the batter with a spoon and gently drop them into the hot oil. Flatten the tops of the fritters slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

2. Serve: Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce. Chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill make a lovely garnish.

More information:

• • Kefir adds a slight tang to the batter, but you can substitute it with thick yogurt if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk or water to thin it out slightly.

• Feel free to experiment with different vegetables! Grated zucchini, chopped bell peppers, or even leftover cooked potatoes can be added to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
• These fritters can be reheated in the oven or a toaster oven at a low temperature until warmed through.

Conclusion:

These Cabbage and Onion Fritters are a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy your daily dose of vegetables. They’re perfect for a quick and easy lunch, a light dinner, or even a fun appetizer. So ditch the boring and embrace the flavor explosion of these vegetarian delights!
