FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   If using fresh spinach, sort and wash them. Cook the spinach (fresh or frozen) for 1 minute in plenty of salted water.
  Drain and rinse under cold water.
  Squeeze out excess water using a cloth, then chop the spinach.
• 2.   Mix the ricotta, spinach, eggs, and 100g of Parmesan cheese.
  Add the flour and almond powder.
  Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
• 3.   Using 2 wet teaspoons, scoop a walnut-sized ball of the mixture and cook it in boiling salted water for 5 minutes.
  The ball is cooked when it floats to the surface.
  If it remains at the bottom of the pot, add 1 egg yolk and almond powder to the mixture.
• 4.   If the cooking of the ball is satisfactory, repeat the process with the rest of the mixture and cook the balls for about 5 minutes.
• 5.   Preheat the oven using the broil function.
  Remove the spinach balls from the water with a slotted spoon and arrange them side by side in a large gratin dish.
• 6.   Sprinkle the balls with sliced almonds, place a few knobs of butter on top, and broil for 3 minutes.
  Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese before serving.
