Balls made with spinach, rice, and herbs.

Servings

2 lb fresh spinach leaves , washed and large stems removed
1 cup chopped scallions
2 tsp olive oil
2 cup cooked long grain brown rice
2 tbsp fresh dill weed , finely chopped
1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 pinch salt and pepper , to taste
1 cup bread crumbs

1 In a large covered pot, steam the spinach in water that clings to the leaves until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and chop the spinach and set aside. In another pan, sauté the scallions in the oil for about 5 minutes, or until softened and slightly brown.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, scallions, rice, dill, and lemon juice. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Mix ingredients together well until the mixture holds together.
4 Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray or a light coating of oil. With damp hands, form 1/4 cup of the rice mixture into a firm, round ball. Roll the ball in the breadcrumbs and place on the baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the mixture, placing balls about an inch apart.
5 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the balls are heated through and crisp on the outside.

As a variation, you may add 1 cup grated feta cheese to the rice mixture.
