Polenta Fritters

Today's recipe is a bit particular... it is prepared completely with the remainders! Great! That is the housewife's paradise! We don't through away anything ... Of course it's possible to prepare the same dish with normal ingredients. 
We had Polenta the other day. Polenta is an Italian corn flour porridge. I had just for a half a plate left... it was such a pity to throw it away.
In the evening we had some sauteed spinach and again there was some just to serve half a plate.
I usually cook generous portions but serve normal ones, so if one wants to top up there is some in the pot...
And finally I had some other remainder ingredients that were absolutely perfect for this dish - just a coincidence!!!

INGREDIENTS:
Servings: 2

1 big hand-full ready polenta
1 hand-full sauteed spinach
1 egg white
3 slices of bacon (I had Pancetta) 
black pepper
EVO oil
  
I repeat, you may prepare the fritters from scratch. Polenta recipe may be found HERE. 



1. Cut bacon into tiny cubes or stripes
2. Chop the sauteed spinach.
3. Mix polenta, egg white, spinach and bacon, use your hand or a fork to mix.
4. Add some black pepper to taste. 

5. Wet the hands with water and form small fritters (from that amount I got 4).
6. Fry them with some olive oil till they are brown at one side, then turn them over and fry the other side as well.

7. Serve with some fresh salad to your liking as a main dish. Or you may prepare the fritters from scratch and serve them as a starter or snack.
Note: Don't add any salt as all the ingredients are already salted.
