Cooking Stuff: April 2008 Archives

They came out really, really good. A little heavy though.... I'll know better for next time.

Spinach Ballz

I had this great recipe for Spinach Dumplings, and I was totally into it until... I was at the point where I had to touch the freshly cooked spinach with my bare hands.

No.

I have these weird cooking moments.  I have no problem with slabs of beef or lamb.  I have no problem with salmon filets.  I can't touch the innards of anything, and I hate fish bones.  I can't cook anything that has actual eyeballs still attached.  In general, I'm okay with vegetables.  I don't remember ever having to deal with freshly cooked spinach before.  I can eat it, no problem.  But not with my hands.

The recipe step that I got stuck on was forming it into little balls to fry.

And... I couldn't do it.  I could just tell, that simply wasn't going to happen.

I had a hard time washing the spinach (fresh, organic baby spinach).  There's just something about the way it feels.  And picking up the slimy, limp, cooked spinach was just beyond me.  I couldn't do it.

However, I was hungry.  Very hungry.  What to do?

BAKE THEM OF COURSE!

I added some more stuff to make them more sticky, dumped them onto a greased baking sheet and tossed em in the oven.

Pictures forthcoming.
