HERBED SPINACH BALLS
SPINACH-BALLS - A delicious appetizer or vegetable dish
I learned this recipe from my mother. I think she originally
found it in the Troy (NY) Times Record.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 12-20)
20 oz frozen spinach, chopped
2 cups herb stuffing mix
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp garlic, finely minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 lb butter, melted
PROCEDURE
(1) Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Thaw spinach and
remove excess liquid.
(2) Add remaining ingredients (stuffing mix, parmesan
cheese, garlic, onion, eggs, and butter) and mix
well.
(3) Form the mixture into small balls and place on a
baking sheet.
(4) Bake for 15 minutes at 350 deg. F.
NOTES
These can be made up ahead of time and frozen. If frozen,
increase cooking time by 10-15 minutes.
Herb stuffing mix is a commercial preparation of bread
crumbs and herbs and seasonsings that is packaged for stuff-
ing a turkey or chicken. You can make your own using recipe
BREAD-STUFF-1 if you like.
This recipe makes about 80 appetizer-size balls, or about 40
larger balls to use as a vegetable dish at a meal.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 20 minutes preparation. 15-30
minutes baking. Precision: Approximate measurement ok.
