A vegetarian twist on classic cuisine: Cabbage cutlets delight

At first glance, you see a perfect patty on your plate, but after cutting through, you'll find no meat here. Instead, there's cabbage, which works wonderfully as a cutlet.

Cabbage cutlets are best made with young cabbage, but if the season is completely over, you can also use regular cabbage. It's worth choosing smaller ones, which will be easier to bread. The addition of spices and a crispy crust will make you rediscover cabbage.

Whether you don't eat meat at all, are cutting back, or are simply looking for an interesting dinner recipe, this dish will steal your heart. If we also serve it with boiled potatoes with dill and cucumber salad, there will be no end to the admiration. It's a great alternative to classic Polish dishes. Additionally, it's simple to prepare and inexpensive. Cabbage cutlets with potatoes and cucumber salad is a dinner that always leaves only empty plates.
