How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Cook or chop the main ingredients and remove excess moisture.

  2. Mix with egg, seasonings, and any binding ingredients.

  4. Fry on both sides or bake until set and golden.

  5. Drain briefly and serve warm or at room temperature.

Cook's notes

Remove excess moisture from vegetables or potatoes so the mixture is not loose. The oil should be hot but not smoking so the inside and outside cook evenly.
