- 130 g peeled onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lard

INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Remove roots and stems from spinach leaves, rinse thoroughly several times in cold water and let drain. Finely chop the onion. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
- 2In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the lard and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Reduce heat to one-third, add garlic and stir for 1 minute.
- 3Add spinach, mix thoroughly and cover with a lid for 1 minute. Uncover, stir and cook for another 1 minute. Then roughly blend the spinach. Add eggs and breadcrumbs, mix and heat through for 1 minute.

Tip
It's best to soak spinach in a tall container with cold water to wash away any soil or sand particles that sink to the bottom. The water needs to be changed several times.
Cook spinach briefly; long cooking will make it turn grey.
You can chop spinach with a knife on a cutting board or blend it, but it shouldn't become a puree.
If you're not serving the spinach immediately, add a little cream to keep it beautifully green. For the amount mentioned above, 80 ml of cream (min. 31%) is sufficient; simply bring it to a boil in the pot with the spinach, stir, and remove from heat.
