Easy Cabbage & Onion Fritters

These little fritters are the definition of beyond easy — one bowl, a handful of ingredients, and golden in minutes. Cabbage, scallions, and cilantro bound together with egg, a pinch of turmeric, and coconut flour for a crispy, gluten-free fritter that works at any meal. Eat them straight from the pan, tuck them into a sandwich, or wrap them up for a picnic. Serve with mustard, harissa, tapenade, or artichoke pâté — whatever's in the fridge. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and endlessly versatile.

Ingredients

  • 3 large free-range eggs
  • 1 cup finely chopped green cabbage
  • 2 - 4 sprigs scallions
  • Handful cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or ghee

Instructions

  • Slice the cabbage finely and put it into a bowl. Chop the scallions and cilantro and add to the bowl. Break the eggs into the bowl. Add the turmeric, coconut flour and salt, and mix until combined.
  • Heat the coconut oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Ladle about ½ cup of the mixture into the skillet. Fit as many as you can, but make sure to leave a 1-inch gap between each fritter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately with mustard, artichoke pâté, tapenade or harissa.

Notes

You can make a big frittata instead of small ones; if you do, let it cook longer, about 3-4 minutes, before you flip it.
