This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” interior with a professional, “bakery-perfect” crispy exterior.
Ingredients
• The “Magic” Base: 1 Small Cabbage (shredded thin) and 1 Onion (finely diced).
• The “Wow” Color: 1 Carrot (grated), exactly like the vibrant flecks in your picture.
• The “Velvety” Binder: 2 Eggs and 4 tbsp Almond Flour (a professional-grade, flourless substitute).
• The Aromatics: Salt, Black Pepper, Paprika, and Dried Garlic (the “secret” to that “unbelievable” savory depth).
• The Sizzle: Olive Oil for pan-frying.
Preparation Steps
1. The Prep: Shred the cabbage and onion finely. The “magic touch” is to salt the cabbage and let it sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture to ensure a professional “wow” crunch.
2. The Mix: In a large glass bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, and grated carrot.
3. The Combine: Whisk the eggs with the spices and pour them over the vegetables. Stir in your almond flour until everything is “smothered” and holds together.
4. The Sizzle: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop professional-sized portions of the mixture into the pan, flattening them into “steakhouse-quality” patties.
5. The Sear: Fry for 4–5 minutes per side until they reach that “unbelievable” golden-brown finish seen in your photo.
6. The Reveal: Serve hot with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. It’s a “miracle” how much flavor you get from such simple ingredients!
