Don’t go away sitting for too lengthy because the cabbage will launch juices and the entire combine would possibly get fairly moist. Greatest to prepare dinner instantly!

Step 2. In a big frying pan, warmth a great splash of olive oil, avocado oil or coconut oil over medium-high warmth.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the combination to make a pattie or use a big spoon or a 1/4-1/3 measuring cup to form the patties. I normally eye-ball it with a heaped tablespoon of the combination. I add it to the pan after which form and flatten the patty.

Pan-fry over medium warmth for about 2-3 minutes on either side. Add just a little extra oil if you flip the patties to maintain them further crispy.

Step 3. Whereas patties are cooking, make the sauce. Grate or mince the garlic clove and blend into mayonnaise along with scorching sauce. Put aside.

Put together a facet salad or greens to go together with the patties. I made a salad with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, purple capsicum/peppers, radish, onions, lemon and olive oil dressing.

Cowl the bowl with a lid/Gladwrap or retailer the combo in a container till you’re able to prepare dinner (a day or two prematurely is okay).
