Cabbage and Cheese Patties
Crisp, tender without any breading, and low in calories! Sometimes you want patties, just not meat ones. These easy cabbage patties are a go-to any time — cabbage is available year-round, they're light, and they're a great way to mix up the menu.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
How do you make cabbage and cheese patties? Cut a small head of cabbage into 4 pieces and remove the core. Boil the cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 4 minutes — they shouldn't get too soft. Then drain them in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Squeeze the cabbage well (if too much water is left, you'll have to add more flour, which hurts the flavor).
-
Step 2:
Chop the cabbage with a knife, finely chop the onion, and grind the carrot in a blender. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a heated skillet, add the butter, and sauté the onion; then add the carrot and cook until tender, lowering the heat to medium-low.
-
Step 3:
Grate the cheese. Add all the ingredients to the cabbage (except the vegetable oil). Mix the cabbage mixture and shape it into patties — you'll get about 8–10.
-
Step 4:
Fry over medium heat in vegetable oil, 3–4 minutes per side.
-
Step 5:
Serve with sour cream, which you can stir chopped herbs and garlic into. Enjoy!
- For a crisp crust, dredge the patties first in flour, then in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs before frying. Without breading, they're very tender.
- Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and form harmful compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature, which oil is best, and which to avoid entirely, read here.
