INGREDIENTS:
750 grams of cabbage (1.65 pounds)
1 liter of water (4.2 cups)
2 eggs
2 onions
5 cloves of garlic
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of thyme
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
Hot pepper powder, to taste
75 grams of flour (2/3 cup)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage
Cut the cabbage finely using a slicer, knife, or a fine grater. Alternatively, use an electric food chopper with S-shaped blades for quick results.
Place the finely chopped cabbage in a pot, cover it with 1 liter of water, and bring it to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes until the cabbage is soft. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Onion and Garlic
Finely chop the onions and heat a pan on the stove with a small amount of butter.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and cook until they start to turn golden brown.
Squeeze the garlic through a press and add it to the onions. Cook for another minute until the garlic is fragrant and the onions are fully golden.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the boiled cabbage and the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.
Add 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and hot pepper powder to taste.
Beat 2 eggs and add them to the cabbage mixture.
Add 75 grams of flour (2/3 cup) to the mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined into a homogeneous mass.
Step 4: Form and Fry the Pancakes
Heat a pan with a small amount of butter over medium heat.
Form small pancakes from the cabbage mixture.
Fry the pancakes on both sides until they develop a nice golden crust, about 3-4 minutes per side.
