BUNUELOS DE ESPINACA (SPINACH FRITTERS)
When I was young, my Argentinean friend often had these South American fritters packed in her school lunch. I was always willing to indulge in as many as she would allow! Eventually her mother started packing extras! I've since lost her recipe, but this one produces the same delightful flavor and texture I relished as a kid. Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or snack.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Mix spinach and onion together in a separate bowl. Add milk and eggs to spinach mixture; mix well. Stir flour mixture into spinach mixture until batter is evenly combined.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Oil is ready to use with a drop of spinach batter added to the oil bubbles immediately.
- Drop batter, about 1 tablespoon per fritter, into the hot oil; fry until outside edges of fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

SPINACH FRITTERS (RACHAEL RAY)
Sounds delish and is one of Rachael's budget meal items. She paired these up with pan fried pork chops, but I think it would be great as a main dish with a side or two of veggies!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the spinach, onion, eggs, the flour and cumin; season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the spinach batter into the oil. Cook the fritters until crisp and browned, about 2 minutes on each side.
Tips for Making Spinach Fritters
- Use fresh spinach. It has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach.
- Squeeze the spinach dry. This will help to prevent the fritters from being too soggy.
- Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the fritters. Some good options include garlic, onion, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Fry the fritters in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy exterior.
- Serve the fritters with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion
Spinach fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They can be made with a variety of seasonings, so you can customize them to your own taste. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a quick snack, spinach fritters are sure to be a hit.
