1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add flour, garlic, onion, pepper, and parsley.
3. Mix the cabbage into the batter until well combined.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
