I adapted this recipe from one for Broccoli Balls in the NY Times
(several weeks ago -- didn't see recipe myself but got it over the phone
from my mom).
SPINACH BALLS
1 10 oz. box froz. chopped spinach
1 T. good olive oil
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
4 mashed and chopped garlic cloves (either put through a garlic press or
I just smashed them with the flat of a knife and chopped)
1 c. Ener-G "Stuffing" bread crumbs or other GF fine, dry bread crumbs
1/4 c. finely chopped or ground almonds (or walnuts)
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. *each* of oregano and basil (dried, use more if fresh)
salt & pepper to taste
2 eggs
1) Cook spinach according to package instructions. Drain.
2) Sautee onion and garlic in olive oil. Add drained spinach to pan to
mix with onion and garlic -- cook as needed to get rid of excess water.
3) Combine spinach and rest of ingredients in mixing bowl.
4) Form into balls or put mixture into a greased, shallow pan
5) Spray with olive oil on top (Optional: I skipped this and they came
out fine)
6) Bake at 400 degrees (F) for 20 - 30 minutes or until brown.
7) Serve warm or at room temperature.
These came out really good. If you make them in a pan, cut into squares
and place on plate to serve. I haven't tried it yet, but they probably
would make great patties to serve instead of a meat entree. Bon apetit!
