Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) chopped green cabbage
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) breadcrumbs
Protein and Cheese:
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) grated parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
Instructions
- Shred and chop cabbage into fine, uniform pieces in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring even distribution of vegetable fragments.
- Introduce eggs, breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese to the cabbage, creating a binding mixture that will hold the patties together seamlessly.
- Integrate minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped parsley throughout the mixture, blending components to develop a harmonious flavor profile.
- Craft compact patties by gently pressing the cabbage mixture, compacting the ingredients to prevent disintegration during cooking.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (around 350°F) until the surface appears slightly shimmering and animated.
- Delicately position patties into the heated skillet, allowing 3-4 minutes of cooking per side until a golden-brown crust emerges with crispy edges.
- Attentively observe the patties, modulating heat to ensure consistent coloration and prevent scorching.
- Remove patties to a paper towel-lined plate, enabling excess oil absorption while maintaining their crisp exterior.
- Permit patties a brief 2-3 minute resting period, which stabilizes their structure and concentrates internal flavors.
- Present warm as an enticing side dish or light entree, optionally embellishing with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for visual appeal.
Notes
- Swap breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers for a celiac-friendly version.
- Boost protein content by mixing in crumbled tofu or finely chopped cooked chicken for more nutritional value.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet to reduce oil usage and prevent patties from sticking during cooking.
- Enhance flavor by experimenting with different herbs like dill, chives, or thyme to create unique taste variations.
