Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 1 potato, grated
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp ricotta cheese
- 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp almond flour
- 2 oz seasonal greens
- Salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- Squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- Slice cherry tomatoes in half and set to side.
- Boil spinach in salty water until tender, about 4 minutes. Remove spinach and gently squeeze leaves until just damp. Leave the pot of water on the stove and drop heat to a simmer.
- Finely chop damp spinach leaves and place into a bowl along with grated potato, egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix together and add half the almond flour, mixing everything well.
- Form the mixture into balls, each about the size of a walnut. Roll each ball in some of the remaining almond flour to make dumplings.
- Drop dumplings into simmering water that the spinach was boiled in and simmer until they float, about 5-6 minutes. When dumplings float, let them simmer for another minute then remove to plate to drain.
- In a large frying pan, heat butter over medium-high heat and add sliced garlic. Cook garlic until barely brown around edges, about 1 minute. Add dumplings and roll them around in hot butter and garlic.
- When dumplings are well coated, serve on a dinner plate along with seasonal greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and drizzled with a squeeze of lemon.
