Iron-rich spinach leaves pack a punch.
500g spinach, well washed
4 eggs, beaten
100g plain flour
200g parmesan, grated
400ml extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Bring large pot of water to the boil and blanch spinach for a minute. Drain and let cool. Place in a clean tea towel and squeeze as much water out as possible.
Roughly chop cooked spinach. Mix well in a bowl with beaten eggs, flour, parmesan and one tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat remaining olive oil in a pot and drop in a spoonful of mixture at a time. When golden, turn each to fry on other side. Drain on absorbent paper, sprinkle with a little salt and serve as a snack.
