Croquette Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

Method

Croquette Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Potato

    Peel and dice the medium potato into small cubes. In a pot, add water and bring to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the onion and garlic, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato, sautéed spinach mixture, egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  5. 5

    Form Croquettes

    With your hands, take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a small oval or round croquette. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

  6. 6

    Coat with Breadcrumbs

    Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each croquette in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

  7. 7

    Fry the Croquettes

    In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Salad Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 9

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the salad and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, create a bed of dressed mixed greens. Place the fried spinach croquettes on top of the greens. Serve immediately.
