Ingredients

Scale

4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying (about 3 tablespoons)

Instructions

Wash the spinach thoroughly, remove tough stems, and chop coarsely.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with chopped spinach, flour, eggs, feta cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
Scoop portions of the mixture and form small patties (about three inches wide).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each patty for about three minutes per side or until golden brown.
Transfer cooked fritters to paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with yogurt or tzatziki sauce.
