Greek Spinach Rice Balls

These are good! Very filling, but not heavy. They would make great “party food” or a potluck dish. It is very important to use dampened hands when making the balls. Cut everything in tiny pieces.

Steps

In a large pot , steam spinach.
Chop and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350.
Saut the scallions in oil until just softened.
In a large mixing bowl , combine spinach , scallions , rice , dill and lemon juice.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Stir well , mashing the rice against the sides of the bowl until the mixture holds together.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
With dampened hands , pack a heaping cup of the rice mixture into a ball.
Roll the ball in the bread crumbs and place on the baking sheet.
Repeat the process until all of the rice mixture is used up.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the balls are heated through and crisp on the outside.
