Spinach Patties

1 lb spinach leaves, rinsed
2 oz cream cheese
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
2 oz fresh white bread crumbs
vegetable oil, for frying

Walnut Sauce:

2 oz walnuts, toasted
1/2 oz fresh white bread crumbs
1 tablespoon walnut oil
3 fl oz milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
salt
pepper
tarragon sprig, to garnish

In a large saucepan, cook spinach with only the water that clings to
leaves 2 to 3 minutes or until just wilted. Cool slightly, then drain
and squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside to cool completely. Meanwhile,
prepare sauce: In a food processor or blender, process walnuts until
finely ground. Add bread crumbs and oil and, with motor running,
gradually add milk through the food tube, processing until smooth. Stir
in remaining sauce ingredients and season to taste.

Finely chop cooled spinach. Beat in cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, 1
egg, salt and pepper until mixed. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg.
Form spinach mixture into 8 patties. Dip first into beaten egg, then
into bread crumbs until well coated. In a small skillet, heat oil.
Add patties; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Drain
well on paper towels. Serve hot, warm or cold with walnut sauce.
Garnish with tarragon.
Makes 4 servings.
