These crispy cabbage fritters are a delightful vegetarian appetizer or side dish. Packed with flavor and incredibly easy to make, they’re perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 head of green cabbage, shredded
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup water
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Prep the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
- Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the beaten egg and water, and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Combine: Pour the batter over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Fry the Fritters: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, shaping them into small patties.
- Cook Until Golden Brown: Fry the fritters until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or aioli.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the batter.
- To make these fritters healthier, you can bake them in the oven instead of frying.
- Serve these fritters with a side of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy and tangy contrast.
