– chicken egg – 1 piece;
– semolina – 3 tablespoons;

Cabbage cutlets are a low-calorie dish rich in vitamins. It can be served as a side dish or on its own
Finely chop the washed white cabbage into strips, no more than 1,5 cm long. Then put it in a preheated pan with vegetable oil. Simmer the cabbage for about 10 minutes over low heat. Stir often to prevent it from burning. When the cabbage noticeably decreases in volume, add a small amount of milk to it so that it is 1 cm in the pan.
Continue simmering the cabbage along with the milk until tender. If it is completely absorbed, and the cabbage is not ready at the same time, you can add milk little by little. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the stewed cabbage at the end of cooking does not turn out to be too wet. If this happens, put it in a colander and wait a while until the excess milk drains.
The drier the stewed cabbage is, the less flour and semolina you need for cabbage cutlets. This means they will contain fewer calories.
Let the cooked cabbage cool, then pass it through a meat grinder. Add semolina to it and place in the pan. Heat this mass over minimal heat so that the semolina can absorb the cabbage juice. After the cabbage with semolina has cooled, add the beaten egg, salt, wheat flour to them and mix thoroughly until you have a fairly dense mass.
Form cabbage patties out of it. They should be about half the size of your hand. To prevent the mass from sticking to your hands, dip them in cold water. For breading, you can use breadcrumbs. If you want to make cutlets strictly according to the “grandmother’s” recipe, make delicious crackers yourself. To do this, grate or grind ordinary dried white bread in a blender. Dip the cabbage patties in breadcrumbs and fry them on both sides in a mixture of vegetable and butter.
