Recipe by Dominique De Sloovere
First make the cheese balls. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Mix the ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, 50 g flour or rice flakes, chives, garlic, pepper and salt. Put the rest of the flour in a plate and make balls of the ricotta mixture with a spoon and roll them into the flour. Keep them cool.
Clean the mushrooms and spinach. Cut the mushrooms into pieces. Peel and chop the onion. Stew them glassy in olive oil. Add the mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour over vegetables or chicken broth and bring to the boil
Add the spinach to the broth and let it shrink. Mix the soup finely.
Bake the balls golden brown in some olive oil.
Serve the soup with the dumplings and finish with shredded mushrooms and chives.
