Prepare the spinach:
Sauté the spinach in a pan (with a little chopped garlic if desired) until wilted and the water has evaporated.
Drain thoroughly and chop finely.
Prepare the filling:
In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta, egg, and Parmesan.
Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
If the mixture is too soft, add a little breadcrumbs to firm it up.
Shaping the croquettes:
Shape them into balls or small sausages with lightly floured hands.
Roll each croquette in the flour, then in a little beaten egg (optional), and finally in the breadcrumbs.
Cooking:
Heat oil in a frying pan.
Brown the croquettes on each side until crispy.
Drain them on paper towels.
🍽️ Tips:
You can bake them in the oven (180°C for 20-25 minutes) for a lighter version.
Serve them with a homemade tomato sauce or a yogurt and lemon sauce.
