Spinach Patties

• 3 tablespoons olive oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
• 20 ounces spinach, thawed from frozen and squeezed dry
• 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
• 3 egg whites, lightly beaten
• vegetable oil (for frying)
• lemon wedge, for serving

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and, if using, the garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the spinach, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and, if using, the nutmeg. Stir in the eggs. If the mixture is too loose, add a little more bread crumbs. The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for a day.
2. Shape the spinach mixture into patties. In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium heat. In batches, fry the patties, turning, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm, accompanied with lemon wedges.
