Cabbage and onion fritters are a delicious and crispy snack or side dish. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Cabbage and Onion Fritters
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal (optional for extra crunch)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like parsley or dill, optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and chopped onion. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to release some moisture.
- Mix Ingredients: After 10 minutes, add the flour, cornmeal (if using), eggs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until everything is well combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat.
- Form Fritters: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and flatten it slightly into a patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, being sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry: Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Enjoy the fritters warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt on the side.
Tips:
- Additions: You can add grated carrots or chopped bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Baking Option: For a healthier version, bake them at 400°F (200°C) on a greased baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
These cabbage and onion fritters make a great appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
