Mallow is a very popular herb in the Middle East. All parts of the plant contain antibacterial, which is why in folk medicine, mallow is considered to be very effective against coughing and respiratory and urinary tract disorders. If you've come across mallow leaves and were at a loss for what to do with them, these mallow patties might be the answer you needed.
Method of preparing the patties:
-
Boil a large pot of water, add the mallow leaves, cook for a few minutes, strain and rinse with cold water. Squeeze out as mich water as you can, then chop the mallow leaves.
-
Mix the ground flaxseed in a bowl with a 1/3 cup water and set aside for 15 minutes.
-
Mix the mallow leaves with the lemon, breadcrumbs and a little salt. Add the mallow leaves to the flaxseed mixture and make small patties.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and fry each side for a few minutes until they are browned (if the patties begin to burn, lower the flame).
-
Finally, transfer the patties to a plate with a paper towel and drain the oil.
Chef's Tip:
You can serve these patties with yogurt or sour cream.
