Boil smoked herring for 10 minutes or soak overnight in water.

Beat down the smoked herring until it looks shredded.

Sauté 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan, then add onions and cabbage; sauté for 2-3 minutes until crispy.

Add half a Maggie cube, hot dogs, smoked herring, thyme, and habanero pepper; sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

Boil 2 eggs, then set aside for the filling.

In a bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.

Gradually add 1/2 cup of water to the flour mixture, mixing to form a soft dough.

Knead the dough until it is sticky, adding more flour if necessary.

Cut the dough into eight pieces and roll each piece into a patty shape.

Fill each patty with a spoonful of the cabbage and herring mixture, then fold over and seal the edges.

Use a fork to create designs on the edges of the patties.

Heat oil in a pan until hot, then fry the patties until medium golden brown, turning to cook both sides evenly.

Poke holes in the patties to ensure they cook through, then remove from oil when done.
