Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups green cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 green onions chopped

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Place shredded cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture with your hands or press with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: Add diced onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, parsley, and green onions to the cabbage. Mix well to combine all vegetables.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together beaten eggs, flour, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture over the cabbage mixture and stir until everything is well coated and holds together.
  5. Step 5: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Step 6: Scoop 1/4 cup portions of the cabbage mixture and form into patties with your hands. Gently flatten to about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Step 7: Carefully place patties in the hot oil, cooking 3-4 at a time without overcrowding the pan.
  8. Step 8: Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  9. Step 9: Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Step 10: Serve immediately while hot and crispy, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup grated cheese to the mixture. These patties can be made ahead and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream, yogurt sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
