Spinach Patties
Ingredients:
- 2 10 oz chopped frozen spinach
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs (unflavored)
- 4 large eggs beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
3 Tbsp or as needed vegetable oil
Method
Thaw spinach and squeeze out water. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat a little oil in the skillet and saute onion until soft and translucent (5-10 minutes) Remove skillet from heat and add the spinach, bread crumbs, beaten eggs and salt and pepper to taste, Stir together, remove the mixture to a mixing bowl and mix well. Shape spinach mixture into patties. Spray a large stainless steel skillet with cooking spray. Heat about i/4 inch oil in the skillet. Fry spinach patties in batches until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
Notes: This spinach absorbs a good deal of salt so you need to keep tasting it to see if there is enough salt. The size of the patties can vary, I like mine small. The amount of bread crumbs needed may vary so start with 1/2 cup at first and keep adding as needed.
