SPINACH BALLS



Spinach Balls image

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, who says these were my veggie-hating husband's favorite childhood snack. They are a great way to get kids to eat spinach!! Prep time includes chill time. This can be a little salty depending on the butter, cheese and bread crumbs you use, if you are concerned about saltiness use unsalted butter and garlic powder in place of the garlic salt. I have also made these with only 1/2 cup of melted butter (1 stick) and they are just as good but you need to spray the cookie sheet because they will stick.

STOVE TOP SPINACH BALLS



Stove Top Spinach Balls image

I made these for my family's Christmas party. My family really liked these. We thought they tasted so good. I think they are best when served warm from the oven. When I made this recipe I tried to half the recipe which didn't work out so well. I cut the recipe in half but ended up adding the entire packet of stuffing. I also used canned mushrooms instead of fresh. I got this recipe from Kraft.

AUNT LIL'S SPINACH BALLS



Aunt Lil's Spinach Balls image

This was my Great Aunt Lil's recipe, and I've been eating them at family dinners my entire life. All the children in my family eat spinach...and they all start with this recipe. They can also be made a little smaller and served with toothpicks for an appetizer. In my family, this is normally a vegetable side dish. It's a little messy, so make this in advance and reheat when ready to serve.

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h

Yield 15 balls, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
1/2 cup diced mushroom (optional)
3/4 cup breadcrumbs, store bought
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 cup breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place the spinach in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 4-5 minutes on high or until thawed. Drain and squeeze out excess liquid (I put the spinach in a colander and then use a spoon to press out the liquid).
  • If using the mushrooms or onions, saute them in bit of oil until translucent. Drain all liquid.
  • In a large bowl, combine spinach, butter, salt, 1 egg, garlic and 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Mix well.
  • Make balls from spinach mixture by taking a small amount of spinach and rolling in your hands. Make the balls 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter. Wet your hands under running cold water as you make the balls to keep the spinach from sticking to your hands (you'll need to rewet them a couple of times).
  • In a small bowl, combine 1 beaten egg and 1/4 cup water. Beat well. In another small bowl, place approximately 1 cup bread crumbs.
  • Roll each spinach ball in the bread crumbs, then the egg/water mixture, then in the bread crumbs again. Add more water to the egg if you start to run out before you finish them all.
  • In a large skillet, fry the spinach balls in butter until all sides are lightly browned. Use 1-2 tablespoons of butter for each batch of balls, leaving enough room in the pan to move them around so they can be well browned.
  • Place in a 9 x 11 baking dish or another similar dish with low sides. Freeze or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Before serving, heat thawed spinach balls for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
