Ingredients:
- 4 cups finely chopped cabbage

- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Water (about 1 teaspoon, as needed)
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
- Preparation of Mixture:
- If using a food processor, combine chopped cabbage, garlic, onion, and parsley in the processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
- For manual preparation, finely chop cabbage and herbs by hand, then place in a mixing bowl.
- Season and Mix:
- Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Thoroughly combine all ingredients, ensuring even distribution of seasoning. Adjust to taste if necessary.
- Incorporate Flour:
- Add all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix until well combined. If the mixture appears too moist, gradually add water, approximately 1 teaspoon at a time, until a cohesive mixture forms. Aim for a consistency that holds together without being too wet; add more flour if needed.
- Form Patties:
- Take portions of the mixture, roughly the size of an ice cream scoop, and shape them into balls. Flatten each ball into a circular patty shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Frying Process:
- Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot. Carefully place the patties into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Fry the patties until golden brown and crispy on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Drain and Serve:
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
