Bunuelos de Espinaca (Spinach Fritters) image

When I was young, my Argentinean friend often had these South American fritters packed in her school lunch. I was always willing to indulge in as many as she would allow! Eventually her mother started packing extras! I've since lost her recipe, but this one produces the same delightful flavor and texture I relished as a kid. Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or snack.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
½ small onion, finely chopped
½ cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Mix spinach and onion together in a separate bowl. Add milk and eggs to spinach mixture; mix well. Stir flour mixture into spinach mixture until batter is evenly combined.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Oil is ready to use with a drop of spinach batter added to the oil bubbles immediately.
  • Drop batter, about 1 tablespoon per fritter, into the hot oil; fry until outside edges of fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fritters turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These fritters were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fritters turned out too greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

These spinach fritters were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and onion next time.

These spinach fritters were a hit at my dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious spinach flavor. I served them with a dipping sauce made of sour cream, Greek yogurt, and herbs, and they were perfect.
