Time 20m

Yield 30 fish balls, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (20 ounce) package gefilte fish, completely defrosted
1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled into large pieces
1/3 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry, can use fresh
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
2/3 cup breadcrumbs, divided
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided, can use a garlic infused oil
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, divided

Steps:

In a large bowl combine gefilte, feta, spinach, garlic, thyme and 1/3 cup breadcrumbs.
Spread the remaining breadcrumbs on a cookie sheet.
For each bite, use 2 teaspoons of mixture. * You can use a meatballer if you have one to keep them uniform.
With wet hands form into balls and roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
Heat a large skillet with 1/2 of the butter and oil.
In batches, begin to sauté the balls on all sides, until golden brown.
With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel lined plates.
Continue, adding remaining butter and oil as needed until you have finished sautéing all the balls.
Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon, place 3 fish bites on a bamboo skewer or serve with a toothpick in each.
