Top Tips!
- Use fresh cabbage. If you want your patties to be more flavorful with better texture. Old or wilted cabbage will only make the whole dish taste bitter.
- Cabbage and carrots alike contain too much water. Drain them both before shredding them so your patties won't be soggy.
- Let your uncooked patties rest in the fridge for 30 minutes or an hour if you aren't in a rush. This will allow the patties to settle into their form before frying.
- Grease your pan well, or use a non-stick pan so the patties won't stick to the bottom of the pan when frying. This will also let you avoid ruined texture and shape.
- Use the food processor or the Mandoline slicer to shred the cabbage and carrot.

I love Cabbage Patties. I eat them with a thin roll and a slice of cheese, warmed in the Microwave. They are delicious and low-calorie. I have also made them with Zucchini. Be sure to squeeze the juice after shredding the Zucchini.
