Directions
In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients, except flour.
The purée will not be entirely smooth, which is good.
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Dipping your hands lightly in flour, if you need to, shape the purée into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Spray a large skillet with Pam and heat until very hot.
Sauté the balls on all sides, then transfer them to a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
Serve with Creamy Cucmber Dressing.
Makes 18 1 inch balls.
Serving Size: 1 ball (without dressing)
