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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Step 2

Drain the spinach and allow it to cool. Once cool, squeeze out as much excess water as possible and finely chop the spinach.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, roughly 2 inches in diameter and about ½ inch thick.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the gluten-free spinach patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
