Ricotta and spinach fritters
Background
These tasty ricotta and spinach fritters are perfect for party or picnic nibbles. They are gluten-free and low-carb too! The original recipe had grated nutmeg in it, but I've substitutedΒ it withΒ chilli flakes to give it a bit more edge. I served the fritters with chilli jam, but smoked salmon, Parma ham, chutney etc would also make nice and easy toppings.
Ingredients
- 125g ricotta
- 1 large egg
- zest of 1 lemon
- 250g spinach
- 50g gram flour or fine polenta
Instructions
- Blanch the spinach then rinse with cold water. Squeeze out the excess water, then chop it up finely.
- Mix the ricotta with the gram flour and lemon zest. Add the spinach and nutmeg or chilli flakes. Mix well.
- Oil a frying pan and add dollops of the mixture. Using the bottom of a spoon, flatten them down slightly. After a couple of minutes turn them over and cook until golden on each side.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
