There’s a quiet comfort in recipes that ask for nothing more than humble ingredients and a bit of patience. These spinach patties — are exactly that: simple and deeply satisfying. Made with just fresh greens, eggs, and a handful of pantry staples, they offer a crisp exterior, a tender center, and a whisper of garlic in every bite. Passed down through neighbors and generations, this is food meant for everyday tables — no fuss, no flash, just honest flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2.2 lbs (1 kg) fresh spinach
- 2 eggs
- All-purpose flour, as needed
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tsp vegetable seasoning (like Vegeta)
- Oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Wash and finely chop the spinach. (Tip: Stack several leaves and slice them together for speed.)
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then add the chopped spinach. Mix by hand to release the moisture from the spinach.
- Add the minced garlic and vegetable seasoning.
- Gradually add flour, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the mixture holds together but remains slightly soft.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Shape into patties and fry in oil over medium heat until golden on both sides.
