SPINACH BALLS !

I vividly remember walking into my grandmother's house which I normally did when our fridge was looking pretty sad and smelling something ever so gooood!

These wonders are simple and totally mind blowing.

YOU'LL NEED:
(serves 4 unless I'm there!)

- 2 lb cut spinach (I like the baby spinach)
- 1 cup grated Fontina or Parigiano Cheese
- 4 T spoons unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup plain flour
- dash of nutmeg (yes this is used in alot of Italian dishes)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
- salt and pepper QB (quanto basta) or to taste

PREPARATION:

- Take out your favorite large saucepan and add about a cup of salted water, bring to boil and add the spinach, let cook til wilted. Drain the water and squeeze to eliminate the liquid.
- With your sauce pan on low heat, melt the butter and add the spinach to it and let cook or until all liquid is evaporated.
- In a medium size bowl, add your cheese, eggs, half of the flour and the nutmeg and mix well. You will want a rather dry end result.
- Now put some flour on your clean and ringless hands and with them make small balls with the mixture and place them on a floured plate or tray.
- In a frying pan, melt a bit of butter (1 T spoon) and the oil. Place your spinach balls in the hot oil/butter and turn often so that they become uniformly golden.

AND THATS IT!

ENJOY
