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 substituted it with 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.
