Rice and Spinach Balls

Okay, girls, I know we all got busy with the holidays, but I'm running out of good ideas so I hope we all start sharing recipes again soon! Here's another great way to use up leftover rice. I didn't serve them with marinara but they were still really good.


Rice and Spinach Balls

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with nonstick foil. Heat 2 tsp oil in skillet over medium heat. Add I cup thawed frozen cut-leaf spinach, ½ small onion, diced, and ½ tsp minced garlic; cook 2 minutes until spinach is tender.

Stir into spinach mixture 1 cup cooked rice, ¼ cup grated Parmesan, 1 large egg, and 1/8 tsp pepper.

Drop rounded Tbsps onto prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until firm. Serve with marinara. Makes about 10.
