Greek Spinach Fritters with Feta

Cultural Context

Originating from Greece, spinach fritters are a beloved meze, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. They showcase the country's rich culinary tradition of using fresh, seasonal vegetables and herbs, combined with dairy. These fritters are a popular choice in Greek tavernas and are often served with tzatziki or a squeeze of lemon. In modern cuisine, variations have emerged, incorporating different greens or spices, but the essence remains rooted in Greek culture.
