Spinach Matzo Balls

These vibrant spinach matzo balls offer a colourful and nutritious twist on a traditional Jewish comfort food classic. By incorporating finely puréed baby spinach, the dumplings take on an earthy flavour and a striking emerald hue that brightens up any bowl of broth. This vegetarian recipe focuses on a light touch, ensuring the finished matzo balls remain wonderfully fluffy rather than dense, making them an ideal accompaniment for both festive celebrations and simple weekday meals.

Perfect for those seeking a modern update to a heritage dish, these dumplings are as versatile as they are delicious. While they are a staple for Passover when served in a clear soup, they also work beautifully as a hearty addition to a seasonal vegetable stew. Chilling the mixture is the secret to easy shaping, providing a stress-free preparation that delivers consistent, professional results every time.

Ingredients for Spinach Matzo Balls

  • 2 large eggs, plus 1 egg white

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 90g fresh baby spinach leaves

  • 1 cup matzo ball mix (usually both bags out of a box).

In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and the oil.

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process the spinach until puréed. Squeeze the water out of the spinach.

Add the spinach purée into the egg mixture. Whisk to incorporate.

Sprinkle in 240ml (2 bags) of the matzo ball mix. Stir in with a fork, mixing as little as possible. Don't overwork it. Chill in freezer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of water or chicken stock to a boil.

Wet your hands in a bowl of cold water. Using your hand, and manipulating as little as possible, scoop out a ping-pong-ball size of the mixture. Form into a ball with your fingertips, using no real pressure. Bring the water down to a simmer. Drop the balls into the water. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
