Spinach Fritters






This is my own recipe. I am indeed proud of them :-D

Ingredients:
-1Can Spinach(about 14oz. I think),drained very well
-1Can Black Eyed Peas
-1Small Onion,Chopped
-1Egg
-1/2Medium-sized jar of chunky black bean salsa
-Italian Breadcrumbs&Flour
-Garlic Powder
-Salt&Pepper
-Cumin
-Ginger
-Dill
-Parsley
-Oil for frying
You can play around with the herbs&spices,as I always do. I never measure anything so youre on your own with that. I ran out of breadcrumbs so I used half flour.
I put all the ingredients,aside from the egg and the breadcrumbs/flour mixture, into the blender. (My food processor doesnt want to work :-( Very bummed about that.)Next,incorporate the 1egg into it.
After that mixture is blended quite well, I rolled some of it into small-medium sized balls and some of it into small patties.
Then,roll them in the breadcrumb/flour mixture.
Heat 1inch of oil in pot. Drop a few spinach patties/balls in the oil at a time. They dont take too long to fry. A minute or two on each side I'de say.
On just a few of them I stuffed some vegan swiss cheese into the middle. Quite tasty and aside from the fried aspect, they are very healthy ;-) Enjoy!
