Homemade Chicken Spinach Patties
How many times have our children asked us for this dish… my niece would eat only these. But reading on the packages “mechanically separated” raises some doubts.
Here’s the solution.
I prepare them with chicken, meat, fish, and even ham.
The play of flavors is done by the other ingredients, and I’m not talking about the spinach which is almost flavorless, but the addition of herbs see my recipe and the Sicilian-style seasoned breadcrumbs see recipe.
For cooking, you can do it in a skillet without oil, in the oven, in a microwave fryer, or if you really can’t do without it, fried.
