Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (590 ml) grated cabbage
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped onion
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cooking Fat:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) bacon grease (or cooking oil of your choice)
Instructions
- Combine the grated cabbage and finely chopped onion in a large mixing bowl, creating a fresh vegetable base for the patties.
- Integrate flour, salt, and pepper into the vegetable mixture, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly blended and evenly distributed.
- Introduce lightly beaten eggs to the vegetable mixture, stirring until the ingredients bind together seamlessly and form a cohesive mixture.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat (around 350°F), allowing bacon grease or cooking oil to melt and create a sizzling surface.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture into the hot skillet, gently pressing each portion into a flat circular shape with the back of a spoon.
- Cook the patties for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, watching for a golden-brown exterior and crispy edges that indicate perfect doneness.
- Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing excess oil to drain and maintain their delightful crispness.
- Serve the cabbage patties immediately while hot, presenting a delectable side dish or light meal with rustic charm.
Notes
- Choose fresh, crisp cabbage for the best texture and flavor in your patties.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from grated cabbage to prevent soggy patties and ensure a crispy exterior.
- Experiment with different flour types like whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives for dietary needs.
- Enhance the flavor profile by adding herbs like dill, parsley, or chives to the mixture for extra depth.
