The creamy, salty halloumi pairs perfectly with tender potatoes, while the garlicky sautéed cabbage adds a fresh crunch. This dish is not only vegetarian but also packed with wholesome ingredients, making it a satisfying and balanced meal option.

Ingredients:

• 200g halloumi cheese, grated
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
• 200g cabbage, finely shredded
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 100g all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated halloumi, flour, and eggs. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Form the mixture into small patties, about 1 inch thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the potato cakes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
4. While the cakes are cooking, heat a separate pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the shredded cabbage. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve the crispy halloumi and potato cakes warm, topped with the garlicky cabbage.
