Cream Cheese & Spinach Wonton's

...in time to throw together for your New Year's Eve countdown

I usually order pizza, but this year I decided on a delightful treat that I have not indulged on in many moons.  It is quite easy to throw together.  The recipe you probably have seen before.  But I am sharing my spin.  Hope you like it...

Ingredients
1 pkg of cream cheese, set at room temperature
1 pkg of frozen spinach, steamed or thawed, release water
1/4 c mozzarella cheese
pepper flakes, black pepper, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian season, honey or raw sugar

Wonton Wrappers
warm water in a finger bowl
canola oil for frying
medium sauce pot

Directions:
Mix well, first three ingredients together with a fork.  Season to your taste.  Heat oil.  Moisten the perimeter of your wrappers with warm water, using a brush or your finger works fine.  Place a teaspoon portion of mixture onto the center of wrapper.  Fold diagonally or place another wrapper on top.  Seal edges.  Fry until brown.

Serve with your favorite sauce.  Pairs well with a grape juice virgin...or fermented!

homemade onion rings and sauce

1 large organic onion

cold water bath

gluten free bread crumbs

3 flax eggs

1/2 c oat flour

oil for frying

cookie sheet lined with wax paper

large zip lock baggie

Sauce: 

2 T mayo

1 T sour cream

1 t minced garlic

dash (onion powder, parsley, cumin, smoked red pepper, cayenne pepper)

pinch of salt

Slice onion into 1/2 inch thick slices. Separate the rings and drop into a cold ice bath to remove skins. Place rings into baggie. Shake with oat flour to coat. This layer will help flax egg to stick. Next, dip each ring into flax egg, and last into bread crumbs. Shake off excess. Place rings onto lined cookie sheet. Place into freezer to set. I make these in batches and store into a large baggie. This way when I want rings I can just pull a few out and bake or fry.

Enjoy!
