Cabbage Schnitzel

 

This time, Mum was on the internet looking for stuff that I would be able to make while on Weight Watchers.  Not sure of the WW points due to it being fried in oil.  

Ingredients

Cabbage (500 g)

Vegetable oil

2 onions

3 cloves of garlic

3 eggs

4 tablespoons of flour (60 g)

1 teaspoon of salt (8 g)

1 teaspoon of paprika (4 g)

1 teaspoon of black pepper (4 g)

To fry;

Vegetable oil

For sauce;

3 tablespoons of yogurt (75 g)

2 sprigs of dill

1 cucumber (grated)

Red powdered pepper

Stuff you will need

Cutting board and sharp knife

Pot to boil the cabbage

Colander

Mixing bowl with large spoon

Frying pan

Spatula

Paper towel

Directions

You can take the time to cut up the cabbage, or, if you got a food processor, put in the blade attachment at the smallest opening and cut up your cabbage.

Once the cabbage has been boiled for about 10 minutes, drain and cool.

Cut up the onion and garlic and fry them with a few tablespoons of oil.  Fry for about 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, put the cabbage, onions, garlic, eggs, flour, paprika, salt and pepper.  Mix together.

In a clean frying pan, heat up another few tablespoons of oil.

Put the cabbage mixture into the frying pan, between 1/4 cup and 1/3 cup patties.  Fry till golden brown on both sides.

Transfer to a plate with paper towel to capture the excess oil.

Make you dip and serve while the schnitzel are still warm.
