Ricotta Spinach Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large, wide pot of salted water to a simmer. Put the spinach in a large bowl and separate it with your hands. Add the ricotta, 3/4 cup parmesan, the flour, eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg. Mix with a fork to form a slightly sticky dough.
• Spread some flour on a plate. Scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls of the spinach-ricotta mixture and roll into about 24 loose balls using floured hands. Gently roll the balls in the flour.
• Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the butter.
• Meanwhile, gently lower the dumplings into the simmering water and cook until they rise to the surface and are firm, about 5 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, letting the water drain off, and add to the sauce. Gently toss to coat, then transfer to plates and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Serve with bread.

Steps:

• Whisk the chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cumin seeds, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add 2/3 cup water and whisk until smooth. Add the onion, chickpeas, spinach and ginger to the batter and mix to combine.
• Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees. Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the oil (do not crowd the pan). Cook until lightly golden, about 2 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cool slightly, then gently press each fritter into a small disk, about 1/3 inch thick.
• Return the fritters to the hot oil and fry until crisp and golden brown, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and serve with chutney.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir red pepper and onion in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl until smooth; add spinach, ham, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir to mix evenly; pour into the skillet.
• Place a cover on the skillet and cook until the egg mixture is completely set in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onion for 5-6 mins until softened and lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and toss for 1 min to soften.
• Remove from the heat, add the spinach leaves and basil, and toss together to wilt a little. Transfer all the ingredients to a greased 30cm x 20cm rectangular baking tin. Take small scoops of the ricotta and dot over the vegetables.
• Season the eggs and beat well, then pour over the vegetables and cheese. Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until pale golden and set. Serve with salad.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a low-sided six-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 360 degrees. Line a baking pan with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, place the ricotta in a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, break up the curds, loosening the consistency without completely smoothing.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg. Make a large well in the center. Place the eggs, honey, and vanilla in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Pour the egg mixture into the well. Using a whisk, gradually draw the flour mixture into the egg mixture, whisking until smooth before drawing in more flour. Continue until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated.
• Add the ricotta, and gently fold into the batter until just combined; the ricotta will remain visible in the batter.
• Carefully spoon the batter, 1 tablespoon at a time, into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden on outside but still slightly runny on inside, about 1 minute, turning after about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove fritters from oil, and transfer to lined baking pan. Repeat with remaining batter.
• When cool enough to handle, sift nonmelting sugar over fritters; transfer to a serving platter. Serve with huckleberry compote.

Steps:

• Steam the spinach above 1 inch of boiling water just until it wilts, about two minutes. Rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess moisture and chop fine.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, salt, pepper, ricotta, garlic, spinach and mint.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that the bottom doesn't burn. It should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

Steps:

• Stir together ricotta, parmesan, salami, yolks, salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons bread crumbs until combined. Put remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
• Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Scoop a 1 1/2-tablespoon mound of ricotta mixture into bread crumbs, turning to coat completely, then pat into a 1/2-inch-thick oval with your hands and transfer to baking sheet. Make more ricotta fritters in same manner, arranging in 1 layer.
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 350°F. Fry half of fritters, gently turning over once with 2 spoons, until golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350°F, then fry remaining fritters in same manner. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to wilt, about 1 minute. Cover skillet and cook for 1 minute more, allowing condensation to build inside the skillet. Remove from heat, uncover, and stir.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press pie pastry into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie pan. Prick bottom and sides with a fork.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Combine eggs, ricotta cheese, cream, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, basil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Spread spinach and onion mixture evenly over the crust. Pour egg mixture on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until center of quiche is set and the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Melt half the butter with the oil in a sauté pan. Add the onion and cook for 10 mins until softened. Remove to a bowl.
• Add a few handfuls of spinach to the pan and cook for a few mins until it has wilted down. Remove from the heat and drain in a colander. Repeat until all the spinach is cooked. Press with the back of a spoon to remove any excess liquid. Now roughly chop and tip into the bowl with the onion. Stir in the nutmeg, ricotta, egg yolks, Parmesan and some seasoning and mix well.
• Roll out one pack of pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 25 x 30cm rectangle, then lay on a large baking sheet. With the longest side facing you, pack the spinach mixture down the middle of the pastry, leaving a 5cm border all the way around. Brush the pastry all the way round with some beaten egg.
• Roll out the second pack of pastry to a rectangle slightly larger than the first. Drape over the top and gently press down the edges to seal both pastry layers together. Trim the edges to neaten and crimp with your fingers, or seal down with a fork.
• Brush all over with beaten egg and, if you like, lightly score the pastry with the back of a knife in a criss-cross fashion, making sure you don't cut all the way through. Bake for 40 mins. Leave to rest for 10 mins before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Fry the onion in the olive oil until golden and slightly crispy - about 10 minutes.
• Blanch the sliverbeet in boiling water for 2 minutes and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine the sliverbeet, ricotta and cornichons. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Seperate the eggs and beat the whites until they form stiff peaks.
• In a seperate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together then fold them into the beaten eggwhites.
• Lightly grease a 2-Litre oven-proof casserols dish. Pour in half the egg mixture, then the onions, capsicums and ricotta mixture.
• Top with remaining egg.
• Cook in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Spray a non-stick 9 or 10 inch omelet pan with cooking spray.
• Place over medium high heat, add butter.
• When butter is melted add the prepared vegetables and basil.
• Cook stirring often just until spinach is wilted.
• Whisk together the eggs and ricotta cheese.
• Pour egg mixture over cooked vegetables, cook until almost set, lifting edges frequently to allow uncooked portions to run to bottom of pan.
• When almost set, reduce heat, cover and allow to cook covered for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Invert onto a large plate and slip back into pan to finish cooking, top with grated parmesan cheese.
• Cut in half and serve on warmed plates.
