Cabbage Fritters (Fried or Baked)

oz cabbage

med-small carrots (grated)

scallions (or 1 regular onion)

eggs

flour

garlic (minced)

tsp sea salt

tsp black pepper (ground)

tsp paprika (or smoked paprika)

coriander (ground, optional)

Shred the cabbage with a mandoline slicer (for fine uniform shreds). You will need 16 oz, about 7 packed cups. Or about 1/3 of a medium head of cabbage.

Thinly slice 2-3 scallions (or a regular onion).

Grate the carrots with a box grater.

Mince the garlic or use the finer side of a box grater.

Prepare the ingredients (wash and cut)

In a large bowl add all prepared ingredients and toss lightly to combine and coat everything with egg. You can use your hands. Don’t use force while mixing, you don’t want to draw too much water from the cabbage.

Note: The cabbage mixture might look like a slaw at first, without much hope for sticking together, but don’t worry, the fritters will hold together once fried. 

Combine all the ingredients

Heat a non-stick skillet (I use a 10″ ceramic coated skillet) on medium low heat (my stove know is at 3) for 3 minutes or so.

Add fat for frying, let it heat for 1 minute. I’m using ghee, but you could use any healthier heat resistant oils like avocado oil or grape-seed oil.

Form a ball in your hands and place it in the heated skillet. Press down with a spatula or your hands (while arranging the sided) to flatten. The thinner the better it will cook inside.

Fry 3 minutes per side. Or until the surface is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining fritter mixture, adding more oil/ghee as needed. Serve warm or cold.

Shape the cabbage fritters and fry

Southern Fried Cabbage

lb thick cut bacon (cut into 1/2 inch pieces)

sweet onion i.e. Vidalia

tsp fennel seed (optional)

cabbage

onion powder

granulated garlic

red pepper flakes (may adjust to taste)

tsp black pepper

In a large skillet or dutch oven cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain using a slotted spoon, reserving 4 Tbsp drippings in skillet.

To the drippings add onion. Saute over medium-high for 3 minutes or until beginning to brown then add garlic and fennel seed, if using. Saute for 1 minute.

Add cabbage to skillet. The skillet will be full but, the cabbage will shrink as it cooks. Once it begins to shrink, add salt, onion powder, granulated garlic, pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix well.

Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until cabbage has softened and is browning, about 15-20 minutes.

Crumble bacon and add back to the cabbage or use to garnish the top.

Serve and enjoy.
