Ingredients

  • 1 small bunch Swiss Chard
  • 1/2 onion finely minced
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 to 1-1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp oil for pan-frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If the tip of the stem part of Swiss chard is tough, cut them off. Cook the chard in boiling water with a little bit of salt. Drain and rinse with cold water. Squeeze out excess water.
  2. Chop the chard into tiny pieces and squeeze out again to remove excess water but not to be totally dry.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Swiss chard, flour, eggs, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon up the mixture in oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Adjust the heat if it browns too quickly.
  5. Place the fritters on a paper towel to remove the excess oil. Serve hot as is or with the dipping sauce of your choice.
