Spinach amaranth croquette {vegan – sans gluten}
Me revoilà par ici pour vous donner deux idées de bouchées festives pour le réveillon du nouvel an, car mine de rien ça approche vite, mais avant tout j’espère d’abord que vous avez passé un heureux Noël en compagnie de ceux qui vous sont chers. Je sais pas vous mais pour les fêtes on adore ce mettre en mode « apéritif dinatoire », alors oui ça demande un peu plus de préparation à l’avance mais au moins le jour J on est tranquille et on peut profiter sans passer notre temps en cuisine ! SO, pour accompagner cacahuètes, crisps and olives (yes because admit it we rarely do without this trio) I offer you this recipe for amaranth croquette stuffed with spinach and pine nuts. Croquettes that throw and that are both vegan and gluten free, something to satisfy everyone ! It was the first time we tested amaranth at home and I was really surprised by its nutty taste., it's really really good. Here everyone loved this recipe which was originally an everyday recipe but which has become a perfect festive recipe !
I'll prepare another appetizer bite idea very soon, stick around !

- FOR THE STUFFING
- 200 g fresh spinach
- 40 g pine nuts

- Prepare the stuffing for the croquettes, for this, put the coarsely chopped spinach in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, Cook 3 minutes over high heat then remove from heat. Then add the sprockets, pink berries and salt.
- Cook the amaranth as indicated on the package then drain. Mix the amaranth with the mashed potato, flour, minced garlic, olive oil, the Nutmeg, Espelette pepper and salt. Book cool 30 minutes.

10.1.18Bonjour,
Is it possible to cook these croquettes in the oven?? I am a student, so if I can avoid the frying smell in all the studio, that would be cool 🙂
Because this recipe makes you want!!
