Ingredients
  

  • 26 oz cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup semolina
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • oil for cooking

Equipment

  • large pot
  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. Boil cabbage in salted water for 7–8 minutes until tender. Drain, cool slightly, and squeeze out excess liquid.
  2. Sauté onions in oil for 5–6 minutes until soft, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. In a bowl, combine cabbage, onion mixture, eggs, semolina, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Let mixture rest for 10 minutes. Add more semolina if too wet.
  5. Shape into small patties, pressing firmly.
  6. Pan-fry patties for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  7. Alternatively, bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes or air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.

Notes

Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the cabbage to avoid soggy patties. Let the mixture rest so the semolina can absorb moisture. If the mixture is too wet, add extra semolina gradually. Press patties firmly for best results.
