Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh kale leaves (de-stemmed and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chopped kale leaves and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Squeeze out any excess water and chop finely.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched kale, cooked onion and garlic, all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Using your hands or a large spoon, form the mixture into small, flat patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as a snack, with a dipping sauce of your choice, or alongside a salad for a complete meal.
