You can use anything left in the fridge to make this recipe.
what I used: spinach meatballs
frozen organic spinach (400 grams or a big bag), garlic, feta cheese, parmigiano reggiano, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, one egg, vegetable oil for cooking, spices (oregano, paprika, red pepper, thyme, etc).
What you do: strain the spinach of excess water and place in a skillet with chopped garlic, onions and olive oil. Add salt and pepper and let it cool until warm. Set aside to cool.
In a bowl combine grated cheese (you can use any cheese you want) 1/2 (cups), bread crumbs (one cup), one egg, the spices and the spinach. Make medium size balls or small if you like with the spinach mixture and cover them in bread crumbs.
Warm up in a skillet the vegetable or olive oil (you just cover the bottom of the skillet, I don’t go crazy with it). Cook each side 2.5 minutes and let them cool on a plate with paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
If you like make on a side a tomato sauce with olive oil, a spoon of tomato paste and fresh chopped tomatoes or the ones in a jar.
The picture shows both spinach and meatballs. I ll blog about the other recipe another time.
