→ Cooking
14 -
3 tablespoons olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by softening the diced onion in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. After about 5 minutes, when it looks clear, toss in the garlic and give it another 30 seconds. Take it off the stove.
02 -
Mix everything in a big bowl: the cooked onion and garlic, spinach, chicken, breadcrumbs, yogurt, dill, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Make sure it’s all evenly blended.
03 -
Divide the mix into 8 equal portions. Flatten each one so it’s about a half-inch thick.
04 -
Heat the rest of the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for around 5 minutes per side, flipping once, until they’re golden and their insides hit 165°F (74°C).
05 -
Let the patties drain on paper towels to get rid of extra oil. Serve them warm with anything you like on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Great as a filling for pita wraps, a topping for salad, or paired with tzatziki sauce as a starter.
02 -
Make ahead! Refrigerate cooked patties for up to 3 days or stash them in the freezer for a whole month.
