Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 100 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Drain the spinach and allow it to cool. Once cool, squeeze out as much excess water as possible and finely chop the spinach.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, gluten-free breadcrumbs, gluten-free all-purpose flour, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix well until the ingredients are combined and the mixture holds together.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, roughly 2 inches in diameter and about ½ inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free spinach patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
