Spinach Onion Fritter Food

CRISPY SPINACH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to the "keep warm" setting (usually 150-170 degrees F). You will place the cooked fritters in it to keep them warm while you fry more batches.
• Thaw the spinach in the microwave according to the package directions, or in a saucepan over medium heat. Drain well, either by pressing on it in a colander or by placing the spinach inside a clean kitchen towel and squeezing hard to get rid of as much water as you humanly can.*
• Place the spinach, onion, and garlic in a large bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Add the egg mixture, parmesan, almond flour, and coconut flour to the spinach mixture, mixing well with a spatula to combine.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Use a 4-tablespoon scoop to measure out four mounds of the mixture, placing them in the skillet and pressing down gently to flatten. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side, until well-browned and crisp.
• Briefly drain the fritters on paper towels, then place them on a baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm while you cook two more batches.

ONION FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients besides the oil.
• Place a cast iron or non-stick pan over medium heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan (a non-stick pan needs less oil). Scoop out 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the onion mixture into the pan, flattening the mounds slightly with a spoon and spacing them about one inch apart.
• Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, flip them once, and cook them for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. (*See recipe note below for baking instructions).
• Serve warm with yogurt or sour cream or my Beet Aioli (recipe in the notes section).

VIDALIA ONION FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1. Place 1 3/4 cups flour, the baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to mix.
• 2. Place 2 cups of the milk, the eggs, vinegar, and hot sauce in another bowl and whisk until blended, then pour into the flour mixture and whisk until just blended; do not overmix. Stir in the sliced onions and let the batter rest for 30 minutes. It should be slightly thicker than heavy cream. If it isn't, sprinkle in a little more flour. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. The batter should look somewhat free-form, not doughy.
• 3. Preheat the oven to its lowest setting.
• 4. Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 4 inches into a large, heavy saucepan and heat to 375°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Drop the onion fritter batter into the hot oil by the tablespoonful, a few at a time, and fry, turning once, until the fritters are golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes in all. The fritters will have an irregular, spiderlike look, with a few loose pieces of onion escaping here and there. Check a fritter by breaking it open to see if the center Is cooked; it it still seems unset, cook 1 minute more. Drain on paper towels. Place the fritters in the oven to keep warm while you finish frying them all. Serve on a doily-lined platter or in a lined woven basket accompanied by the dipping sauce in one or more bowls.

PAKORA (INDIAN VEGETABLE FRITTERS)

Steps:

• Make batter: Place chickpea flour in a bowl with the spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, chilli). Slow whisk in the water.
• Mix in Vegetables: Add potato, cauliflower, onion, ginger, chilli and coriander. Mix well with a wooden spoon. It should be a thick batter, almost paste-like.
• Preheat oven to 80°C/175°F - to keep cooked pakoras warm. Set a rack over a tray.
• Heat oil: Heat 4cm / 1.5" oil in a large heavy based pot to 180°C/350°F (Note 6).
• Form patties: Drop 2 tbsp of batter roughly formed into a patty shape into the oil. I use my hands (as is typical in India!) but you can also use 2 tablespoons (be careful of splash-age). Don't crowd the pot, it will lower the temperature too much.
• Fry pakoras: Fry 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels. Keep cooked pakoras hot in the oven on a rack set over a tray.
• Serve: Serve pakoras with Coriander Mint Sauce or Minted Yogurt Sauce!

Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the oil (do not crowd the pan). Cook until lightly golden, about 2 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cool slightly, then gently press each fritter into a small disk, about 1/3 inch thick.
• Return the fritters to the hot oil and fry until crisp and golden brown, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and serve with chutney.
