Bread Patties
Servings: 4
Equipment
- frying pan
Ingredients
- 14 oz dry bread 3.5oz per person
- 2 middle sized onions diced
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 3-4 handful oats
- 1 cup frozen spinach thawed and drained
- 1 cup tomatoes diced
- olives optional
- capers optional
Instructions
- Boil some water. Then put the dry bread in a bowl and pour the hot water over it. The water should cover the bread. Let it sit for about 5-10min depending on the size of the bread pieces. When the bread is soft put it in a strainer and carefully press out the water.
- Thaw and drain the spinach and dice your tomatos, onions and garlic and anything else you like to add like capers or olives.
- Add the onions and garlic to the bread in the bowl along with some salt and pepper and other spices that you might like (e.g.mustard)
- Mix all the ingredients together. Most likely your bread patty mix will still be pretty soft, meaning there is a too much liquid in it. We'll fix that with my Oma's way when she made meat balls: add a handful or two of oats. With this amount you need 3-4 handfuls. You can use normal oats or quick oats, both work. They will soak up any extra liquid.
- When the bread patty mix has the right consistency, add the tomatos and spinach. As tomatos contain quite a bit of liquid you might want to drain them first. Again, if there is too much liquid in the mix use Oma's trick.
- Now fry the patties until golden brown on both sides.
