Someone asked me to post this a while back.


SPINACH DUMPLINGS

1 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 eggs
1 cup dry plain bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups ricotta
1/3 cup grated parmesan
2 scallions with tops chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
salt to tast 1/2 to 1 tsp
3 tbs fluor
some pepper, parsley, basil
small amount of nutmeg

Mix all ingredients in a bowl (it might be easier to do the dry ingredients first). Shape mixture into 1 inch balls (flour hands first to prevent sticking). Place on plate and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. In a large pot boil salted water. Drop some balls (don't crowd) into water which should be at a low rolling boil. Boil 3-4 minutes until the balls rise to the top. Remove with slotted spoon.


I used the standard small box of frozen spinach and they came out well but I swear when my grandmother made them they were a lot greener so I'm trying to find out if she uses a bigger package of spinach.
