Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
- 1 medium green pepper, chopped
- 1 medium red pepper, chopped
- 3 raw carrots, shredded (about 1-1/2 cups/375 mL shredded)
- 3 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed (about 2 cups/500
- 2 cups (500 mL) cleaned and chopped raw spinach, tightly packed
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup (250 mL) matzoh meal
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
- additional vegetable oil for frying
Cooking Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the green and red peppers and cook, stirring, until soft -- about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the carrots, potatoes, spinach and onion and mix well. Stir in the beaten eggs, matzoh meal, salt and pepper, mixing until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl and let the mixture stand, refrigerated, for at least one hour or overnight.
- Wet your hand slightly and form the mixture into patties -- no more than 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick. (You can make the patties larger for main course portions, or smaller as a side dish.)
- Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the vegetable patties in the oil until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, turning once.
Servings: Makes about 12 vegetable patties.
Note:
These vegetable patties can be cooked ahead of time, then wrapped in foil and refrigerated until you want to serve them. Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet and reheat at 350° F (180° C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through.
