Been thinking about these for a while now. I can't eat spinach because it's loaded with amines, but I can eat silver beet. I cooked extra 2 nights ago, bought some ricotta and had a play. Here's the result. It's not lactose free. There are amines in the cheese & bacon; as well as preservative in the bacon. However, the individual dose rate is low. Each cooked fritter weighs approx 75 grams.I ate three, as a main meal, without any symptoms.
INGREDIENTS:
approx. 300g ricotta cheese
2 cups cooked silver beet
2 short end bacon pieces, cut into small strips
1/2 cup grated tasty cheese, parmesan if you prefer
125g tin corn (omit if you can't safely eat it)
2 large eggs, whisked together
about 1/4 cup of 'safe' cooking oil (I used sunflower)
METHOD:
Smash the ricotta in a bowl & stir in the cold silver beet.
Place approx 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy based frying pan. Cook the bacon strips in the oil til crisp. Add the bacon and drained corn to the ricotta mix. Stir in the beaten eggs and mix well. Heat oil in pan ~ just enough to crisp the outside & prevent them from sticking. Drop large spoonsful into oil, flatten gently with an egg flip. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, turning carefully as the mixture is soft and will break. Drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with iodised sea salt flakes & enjoy.
The mix makes about nine fritters.
Yummmm!
