my take on potato and spinach cakes

I didnt invent these , got the basics  from here spinach cakes and then i added some extras

heres what you need

2 med potatos cooked and chopped
big handful of spinach, chopped
3tbs gluten free flour
3 small chopped mushrooms
2 beaten eggs
large red onion , chopped
half chopped green pepper
teaspoon minced garlic
salt and fresh ground pepper

combine all in a large bowl and spoon into a frying pan that has some sunflower in the base, cook for a few mins on both sides then transfer to baking sheet, Pop in hot oven, gas mark 7 for 15 mins......enjoy!

I made enough for two days and heated them from the fridge at gas 6 for 20 mins, turning twice to make sure they got brown

you could easly change up what you add to the mix, im going to add tuna next time to make it a complete meal but sweetcorn, tomatos, peas,nuts or pre-soaked beans all sound good


unexpectantly having to go gluten and dairy free

so ....due i think to the menopause ive had to change what i eat. Due to all sausages having wheat in them ive gone and chosen some minced pork to make some meat balls.So im going to share a recipe with you that tastes great hot or cold

large handful of chopped cooked spinach
1 red onion chopped
half a green pepper ,chopped
2 small mushroom,chopped
salt and lots of fresh ground black pepper
pack of minced pork

combine all the above in a large bowl and then use your hands to form medium or smalll sized  balls, and pop on to baking tray...into oven, gas 6 for 30 to 40 min, turning once or twice, eat hot or cold
