Ricotta Spinach Patties With Lemon Yogurt Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, Gorgonzola, and bacon and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Add the egg, mix well, and set aside.
• Make the Sauce: Combine the wine and stock in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a sauce-like consistency. Whisk in the mustard, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Make the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between 2 doubled-up sheets of plastic wrap, and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness with a meat-pounder or rolling pin. Divide the stuffing between the breasts, mounding it along the center of each. Fold the bottom edge of each breast over the stuffing, fold in the sides, and roll forward until completely wrapped, to form a tight rolled package. Secure each flap with a toothpick. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Cover the skillet, turn the heat down to low, and cook until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour the sauce into the skillet over high heat and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
• Slice the chicken into medallions, divide among plates, and spoon some of the sauce over each. Garnish with parsley and erve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Tip in the sliced onions and cumin seeds, plus seasoning. Cook gently for 20 mins until golden and caramelised.
• Meanwhile, put the spinach in a colander and pour over a kettle or two of boiling water to wilt. Squeeze the spinach as dry as possible, chop roughly and put in a large bowl. Add the mince, grated onion, ricotta and seasoning. Mix thoroughly, then shape into 4 burgers. Heat 2 tsp of oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the burgers for 8-9 mins each side, or until cooked through.
• Mix the yogurt, mint and seasoning in a bowl. Spread a little onto each bun, add the tomatoes and burgers, and put the onions on top. Add an extra dollop of yogurt and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Using a medium sized skillet, fill about 1/4 with extra-virgin olive oil and let heat on medium-high heat.
• 2. In a medium sized bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and spinach. Add garlic salt and mix together well with clean hands. Gently fold in the chopped tomatoes.
• 3. Meanwhile, set up breading station using a small to medium bowl for the eggs, one plate with Italian bread crumbs and another plate for the Panko crumbs. Make cheese mixture into 2-inch balls and gently pat down to a "patty"; dip the fritter into the Italian bread crumbs then dip into egg mixture. Dip the fritter into the Panko crumbs. Repeat until all tomato slices are breaded. (For better results with the fritter staying together, you may want to put these in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before doing any further).
• 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 5. Place three to four fritters into the oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes and gently turn over using tongs. Allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer or until golden brown.
• 6. Place fritters on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through.
