Ingredients
Method
1.Set oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2.Gently cook the silverbeet until wilted, then drain and chop finely.
3.Heat the butter and water until the butter has melted and in a large bowl mix with the breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients, except the Parmesan.
4.Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls, then into the Parmesan cheese and place onto the tray. Bake for 20-30 minutes, by which time they should be slightly brown and crisp. Leave to cool a little before serving.
Note
- Makes approx 30 small balls. – These are a great hit with children who aren’t that fond of silverbeet. – Chopped walnuts are an alternative to pine nuts and remember to toast nuts if you have the time as they taste better.
