2365.0. "Spinach Balls" by JAIMES::WILKIE () Fri Apr 13 1990 14:56

    I know if I need a recipe this is the place to find it, it's better
    than a cookbook.  Does anyone have a recipe for SPINACH BALLS, they are
    made from spinach and bread stuffing or crumbs and seasoning.  I had them 
    at a party once, they were really good.
    
    Thanks in Advance

2365.1Here's a spinach ball recipeTOMCAT::LAHANASTue Apr 17 1990 09:1320
    Spinach Balls
    -------------
    2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen chopped spinach    
    3 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
    1 large onion, finely chopped
    6 eggs, beaten
    3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1-1/2 tsp. garlic salt
    1 to 1-1/2 tsp. pepper
    1/2 tsp. dried whole thyme
    
    Cook spinach according to package directions; drain.  Press between
    layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture.  Combine spinach and
    remaining ingredients in a large bowl; stir well.  Shape mixture into 
    3/4 inch balls.  Place on lightly greased baking sheets.  Bake at 325
    degrees F. for 15-20 minutes.  Serve immediately.  Makes about 10
    dozen.

    The variety of spinach balls I make is as follows:
    
    2 pkg frozen chopped spinach
    2 cups peperidge farm stuffing mix
    3 eggs
    1/2 cup parmesean cheese
    1 cup grated cheddar cheese
    salt and pepper
    1 small onion chopped
    
    thaw and drain spinach
    mix all together (briefly in foodprocessor works great)
    roll into 1" dia balls
    bake on cookie sheet at 350 F for 20 minutes

    I imagine either kind would work equally well.  I usually use
    Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix.

    The reason I asked about cubes vs crumb mix, is that I wondered how
    the cube type would absorb the eggs and butter, and how you could shape
    them into balls as they are hard and square.
    
    Thanks for the help, now I think I'll make some this weekend and freeze
    them (there great to have on hand for company, or just a snack), I
    wonder if I should freeze them before they bake or after? What do ya
    think?
    
    Thank again
