Spinach Party Balls With Lime
Thursday, 13 March 2008 by Lore
This is my first Heart of the Matter recipe :). I am so excited because its also the 1 year anniversary of this great project and I want to congratulate every single one of you who made it happen and kept it going.
This month’s theme is “Party Food” and here is my entry:
Ingredients for 15 party balls
- • 3 Tbsp of scalded (cooked in salty boiling water for 3 minutes) spinach, drained and minced
- • 3 Tbsp of grated raw carrot
- • 3 Tbsp of diced orange bell pepper
- • 2 Tbsp of lime juice
- • 6 Tbsp of mashed potatoes (from baked potatoes)
- • 2 cloves of garlic – finely minced (optional)
- • Salt – to taste
- • Ground pepper – to taste (optional)
- • 1 handful of sesame seeds
Assembly
Mix well all the ingredients except the sesame seeds and seasoning. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Take a small quantity of the mixture and, using both palms, form into 4-5 cm/1.5-2 inch balls.
Dip the spinach balls in the sesame seeds so that they only have one half covered in seeds.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy the party :).
Those are so beautiful! Perfect party for entry!

Lisa - I love them more at room temp, although others might prefer them cold :).
Johanna - They do look quite cute, don’t they? :). I try to eat less fried food, but I must admit I’ve still got a long way to go.

25 March 2008 at 04:00Thanks Peabody! Because of the colours (and the link: Popeye-spinach
)they look like they would hold inside some kind of considerable force….or at least that’s the impression I was left with.
