Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh spinach
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 100 grams, crumbled feta cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 100 grams breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons sunflower oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly, then blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and chop finely.

Step 2

In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, sautéed onions and garlic, crumbled feta cheese, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown and crisp on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the spinach patties warm as an appetizer or alongside a main dish.
