How to Make Cabbage Patties:
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding the cabbage, grating the carrot, and finely chopping the onion. You can use a food processor to save time.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped onion. Add the eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until fully combined. If you’re using fresh herbs, chop them finely and add them to the mixture.
- Form the Patties: Take a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used up. This should make about 6-8 patties depending on the size.
- Cook the Patties: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Since there’s no oil, make sure the skillet is truly non-stick to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and serve immediately. They’re delicious on their own or with a side of fresh salad or yogurt dip.
Benefits of Cabbage Patties:
- Healthy and Nutritious: Cabbage is low in calories but high in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. Carrots add beta-carotene and vitamin A, while the eggs provide protein.

Tips for Success:
- Fine Shredding: Ensure the cabbage is finely shredded for better texture and easier cooking.
- Non-Stick Skillet: Use a good-quality non-stick skillet to prevent the patties from sticking.
- Serve Fresh: These patties are best enjoyed fresh from the skillet while they’re still warm and crispy.
