Deep Fried Spinach Recipes

EASY FRIED SPINACH

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops bubbling. This allows the water from the butter to evaporate. Add the garlic; cook and stir for about 2 minutes, until it is just beginning to brown. Put in the spinach leaves and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring, until the leaves are dark and are about 1/4 of their original size.

CRISPY DEEP FRIED SPINACH BALLS

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl using your hands as this helps get the mix together, the egg white will help to bind the mixture so it should all come together very quickly.
• Once the mix can be sculpted into a ball shape it is ready to create the individual balls.
• Tear off sections of the mixture and using your palms roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball flatten the ball slightly so it is a kind of oval shape.
• Deep fry the balls until they are a golden brown colour on all sides and serve on top of a creamy pasta dish. The balls should be slighly soft with melted cheese inside if they are cooked correctly.

FRIED SPINACH

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan or deep-fat fryer, heat 3 or 4 inches of oil to 350/F. Preheat the oven to very low and put a paper towel-lined roasting pan in it to warm. Standing well away from the top of the pot in case the oil spatters, take a handful of leaves at a time and throw them into the hot oil for about 30 seconds, or until crisp and bright green. Remove with a skimmer or tongs to the towel-lined pan and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Fry the remaining spinach in the same way. (The spinach can be kept at room temperature after frying for up to 2 hours, then reheated in a low oven just before serving.)
