Cabbage pancakes made from raw cabbage

Prepare the ingredients as listed for making cabbage pancakes from raw cabbage. Instead of wheat flour, oatmeal or semolina can be used. For breading, regular breadcrumbs, but with whole grain flour, the products will turn out more tender.

Cut the cabbage into pieces that can be conveniently placed into the food processor. If there is no such device, the cabbage should first be shredded, and then passed through a regular meat grinder.

Put the cabbage pieces in the chopper and mince them into a grainy mash.

Add butter and egg into the chopper bowl as well.

Crush the garlic with a press (a whole clove may not chop evenly). Process the mixture again in the chopper.

Transfer the cabbage mash into a bowl. Salt and thicken with flour.

Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon so that the flour is evenly distributed throughout.

Wet your hands and shape a small pancake into a round or elongated form. Coat it in whole grain flour.

Place the prepared shapes onto a board.

In well-heated oil over medium heat, fry the pancakes on both sides until they are browned.

Place the pancakes on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

The cabbage pancakes made from raw cabbage are ready. It is best to serve them hot, although they are quite good even when cooled. A little cold sour cream will enhance the taste of this vegetable dish, and a cup of aromatic tea will complete the meal. If using the pancakes as a side dish rather than a standalone dish, they pair well with any meat.
