Mediterranean Vegetable Cakes image

I am not a vegan or vegetarian but still really enjoy this recipe. It is similar to one I found on a vegetarian website, however, I made my own additions and now it is amazing! These are an awesome side dish or main dish! They can be served with Parmesan cheese, red or green hot sauce, or olive tapenade, but these are also great by themselves!

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup olive oil, divided
1 cup finely chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cups roughly chopped spinach
1 large parsnip, grated
⅓ cup chopped artichoke hearts
⅓ cup chopped Kalamata olives
⅓ cup almond flour
¼ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
3 small eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach to onion mixture; cook and stir until wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion-spinach mixture to a large bowl and cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
