To prepare our cutlets, we start by shredding the cabbage and sprinkling it with salt. Set aside for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, drain the chickpeas, rinse with water and drain. Then crush it with a fork to leave small, noticeable pieces.
The next step is to chop the parsley and onion finely, as well pressing garlic through a press. Squeeze the cabbage thoroughly and place it in a bowl along with the onion, garlic and chickpeas. Add 3-4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, roasted sunflower seeds, chili and parsley. Mix everything thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
Then add the egg and combine it with our mass. If you notice that it is too thin, add more breadcrumbs. After preparing the mass, we form small cutlets and roll them in the remaining breadcrumbs. Fry them in hot oil until they become golden. Transfer them from the pan to a paper towel to remove excess fat. We can serve them e.g groats or salad.
