INGREDIENTS

2 older rolls
200 ml milk
2 cloves garlic
150 g cooked smoked meat
40 g peeled onion
20 g butter
600 g cabbage
salt
1 egg
pinch of pepper
30 g breadcrumbs and breadcrumbs for coating
sunflower oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cut the rolls into 0.5 cm cubes and mix them with milk in a bowl. Peel and press the garlic. Cut the smoked meat into 2 cm cubes. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter, add the finely chopped onion, and sauté until translucent, stirring occasionally.
2
Cut off and discard the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the tough core. Place the cabbage in a pot with salted boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Drain and let it drip in a colander. Squeeze out the rolls.
3
Grind the cabbage, rolls, and smoked meat in a meat grinder. Add the egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly. Form 1 cm high patties from the prepared mixture and coat them in breadcrumbs.
4
In a pan over medium heat, warm the oil and fry the patties on both sides until golden brown.
5
Serve with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, or simply on their own.

Tip

Instead of sunflower oil, you can use quality rapeseed oil or pork lard for frying.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
