Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. Set aside.
Once the spinach has cooled, carefully squeeze out excess liquid using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. Finely chop the spinach and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, parsley, almond flour, eggs, sea salt, black pepper, and optional nutritional yeast to the bowl with the spinach. Mix well until a cohesive mixture forms.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Continue cooking the patties in batches until all are done.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. These patties can also be refrigerated and enjoyed within 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
