Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh spinach
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 60 grams chickpea flour (or gram flour)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 50 grams breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil (for frying, e.g., avocado or sunflower oil)
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry. Chop it finely and set it aside.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, onion, and garlic. Add the chickpea flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and water. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a sticky mixture.
Stir in the breadcrumbs and mix again. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the ingredients bind together.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, flat patties, roughly 6-8 cm in diameter, and set them aside on a plate.
Heat the neutral oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd it. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the spinach patties warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad, dairy-free yogurt dip, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
