Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or [Olive Oil]
  • 12 ounce package of frozen spinach
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried
  • 1/8 teaspoon of [nutmeg]
  • 2 eggs (beaten)

Instruction

  • thaw the spinach at room temperature or place it in a microwave to thaw. Once it is thawed out, set it aside.
  • heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the garlic and onions and cook them until they become translucent  - about 3 minutes.  
  • stir in the spinach and cook for about 5 minutes until all of the liquid is absorbed.
  • mix in the nuts, sage, thyme and nutmeg; cook for a few minutes longer
  • turn the heat off and allow the mixture to cool off for a few minutes before adding the parmesan cheese and eggs.
  • once the mixture is close to room temperature, add the two beaten eggs and stir well in the grated parmesan cheese.
  • place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm up the mixture which will make it easier to form it into balls. 
  • once the spinach mixture has been chilled, use your hands to form the mixture into 3/4 inch balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined sheet, and bake for 30 minutes.
