Spinach Bites

How long has it been since you (purposely) ate spinach? Meaning, you went to the store, bought spinach, cooked it, ate it willingly, and enjoyed it, maybe even bragged about how good it was....
Ok. How about it came camoflaged on your plate and when you bit into it your teeth gritted and you screamed in outrage and threw the green imposter with the slimy texture to the floor. So since you couldn't form sentences. Ok. Good. Now I know where to start with this recipe.
First of all. Refrain from making that crinkled up face and gulping for that imaginary last breath. It's Spinanch, not Anthrax. Chances are you just need to get reacquainted with this vegetable that you had a fight with all those years ago. It's time to reunite, find the love, and savor this dish that works great as an appetizer or even a handy side dish (that won't have your guests in a tantrum). They won't hurt you. I promise.

Ingredients:
Spinach (I use frozen/chopped it's easier). 1 package.
Stuffing (like a chicken instant stuffing). 2 cups
Egg
Parmesan Cheese
Sweet Yellow Onion (use 1/2 of a small onion)
Butter
Sea Salt
White Pepper
Dill

First, cook your spinach in it's box in the microwave for about 3 minutes (this will vary on the strength of your microwave or if you forgot and left it out on the counter for a while). Drain the spinach in a colander and squeeze out any excess water. Cook your instant stuffing according to the recipe on the box. Dice your onion very finely and saute in butter. Add spinach.

In a bowl, add your spinach and onions and then add your stuffing and mix with your hands like you're making hamburger or something. Add one egg and sprinkle Parmesan cheese in to your liking. Season with salt, pepper, and dried dill. If your mixture is really green and isn't holding together add some more stuffing. You want to make sure that the consistency allows you to form little balls (slightly larger than a normal meatball). Place on a greased baking sheet and cook on 275 for twenty minutes. They should get slightly golden, but not crispy. Remove them promptly and cool for a couple of minutes. *

*Freeze them in a Tupperware-like container. When you're ready to reheat, cook in the microwave on low. They resurrect great and maintain their consistency. You could also put them in a little toaster oven to reheat if you want them a little crispier.
