Spinach and Cottage Cheese Fritters





250g baby spinach, washed and drained but with a little moisture clinging
2 eggs, beaten
5 tbsp wholemeal flour
2 tbsp polenta
250 g cottage cheese
vegetable oil for frying (if you decide to fry them)

1. Heat a wide pan and add the spinach, toss it around until it wilts and collapses. Leave it to drain for few minutes, then transfer to a bowl and let it cool.
2. When it's cool, mix in the eggs, followed by polenta and flour, then the cottage cheese. Season well and leave for 15 minutes.
3.Turn the grill on or heat up the frying pan and when moderately hot , drop spoonfuls of the mixture on to the pan or grill, cook for 2 minutes then carefully flip them over. You don't want them to colour too much, however if they are not cooked enough before you flip them, they could fall apart.
