Spinach Balls -- gluten, soy, dairy free

Spinach Balls

These were inspired by an Indian cooking recipe site.  I saw a recipe photo that looked so good, I had to try to do something like it!  They are rather like spinach dumplings.  This makes about 2 dozen appetizers.

4 cups fresh spinach (or about 1 14 ounce can of spinach, drained)
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
1/2 medium onion

Process the veggies in a food processor until they are uniform.  
Add and process till combined:
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Pinch chipotle pepper powder (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Add and process until smooth:
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Allow the batter to rest about 5 minutes.  Heat about 1" of oil in a pan until hot, then drop the balls by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil.  Cook them until they are browned.  Enjoy!
