⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (150 g) fresh spinach or leafy greens, washed and chopped
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water (more if needed)
  • 1 large egg
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

In a separate bowl, whisk together the water and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

Fold in the chopped spinach or leafy greens.

Heat the Oil

Heat about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Fry the Mofo Anana

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.

Fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
