Tiny Spicy Spinach Artichoke Bundles
- 1 package (12 Oz. Package) Won Ton Wrappers, 40 Wrappers
- 1/2 cups Water
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Marinated Or Canned Artichoke Hearts, Chopped Fine (Or Substitute 1/2 Cup Extra Spinach)
- 1 cup Frozen Spinach, Thawed And Squezed Very Dry
- 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese Or Mozzarella
- 1/2 cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cups Mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, Or To Taste
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced Or 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder (optional)
- 2 cups Canola Oil, More Or Less
- 1/2 cups Dry Parmesan, The Cheap Stuff, For Sprinkling
- Crumbled Pepper Bacon, To Taste (Optional For A Non-vegetarian Version)
- In a coffee mug, mix the water and corn starch together and set aside with a pastry brush.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the artichokes, spinach, cream cheese, jack cheese, shredded parmesan, mayonnaise, black pepper, cayenne and garlic, if using.
- Have ready a clean, dry cutting board or cookie sheet to lay the filled bundles on, then lay one won ton wrapper at a time in front of you and lightly brush about 1 inch of the corn starch water mixture around the edge.
- Drop 1 teaspoon of filling in the center and fold like a little triangle, then flop the tips over to make a 1/2 stop sign look, or do the easy thing and follow the folding directions for won tons on the back of almost every package!
- When you are finished filling the little bundles, heat about 1/2 inch of canola oil in a medium-sized frying pan.
- The pan is ready when a little speck of won ton wrapper sizzles and quickly rises when dropped in.
- Fry about 10 bundles at a time, flipping with tongs when the first side is golden brown.
- When the other side is finished browning, transfer them to a paper-towel-lined platter and sprinkle with powdered parmesan.
- Serve.
- Makes about 40 bundles.
- Note: the filling keeps in the fridge for a couple days and is also great for stuffing mushrooms or spread on little squares of toast and broiled.
- For a non-vegetarian version, you can add crumbled pepper bacon to the filling.
