To make these dumplings, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of water
To begin, mix together the spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, flour, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix everything together until it forms a smooth and cohesive mixture.
Next, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place the balls onto a plate or tray and set aside.
In a large pot or steamer, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the water and bring it to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the dumplings to the pot or steamer. Cover the pot or steamer and let the dumplings steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.
Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them from the pot or steamer and serve immediately. These dumplings are best served hot and can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
The Steamed Spinach and Ricotta Dumplings are a perfect appetizer or side dish for any meal. They are light, flavorful, and packed with nutrients.
