Ingredients:

1 cabbage, shredded thinly
3 medium potatoes, grated
1 red onion, chopped
2 carrots, grated
Dill and parsley, chopped (to taste)
5-6 garlic cloves, minced
4-5 eggs
2 cups of flour
1 tablespoon of salt
125g (5oz) cheddar cheese, grated
Olive oil (for greasing and frying)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

Shred the cabbage as thinly as possible.
Grate the potatoes and carrots, and chop the red onion. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated potatoes, carrots, chopped red onion, dill, parsley, and minced garlic.
2. Prepare the Batter:

In the same bowl, add the eggs, flour, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined.
3. Cooking Method 1: Oven-Baked

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Spread half of the vegetable mixture evenly in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

4. Cooking Method 2: Skillet-Fried

Heat a skillet over low heat and add a little olive oil.
Spoon the remaining half of the vegetable mixture into the skillet, pressing it down to form a flat layer.
Fry for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top during the last few minutes of cooking to let it melt.
