. STEP-1: Once the leafy greens have been completely squeezed of water, add them into a food processor. Then, except for the breadcrumbs, add the remaining ingredients . Pulse a few more times until a rough paste is combined. Now, scoop out this mix into a bowl in order to integrate the breadcrumbs until well combined. Pat down the mix and then cover with a plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour up to overnight.
. STEP- 2 ... Later: Pre-heat the oven at 400F/200C/Gas6. Position the rack in the center of the oven. Prepare a large, Silicon mat lined baking pan or simply line with parchment paper.
. With the aid of a medium (2 Tbsps./ #30) ice-cream scoop, make packed and leveled portions. Gently, extract each onto the pan.
. Prepare two small bowls to hold the oil and the other for the Sesame seeds. Then, gently coat one ball at the time into the oil first and then into the seeds. Place them back on the pan.
. BAKE them for 20 minutes. Close the heat and leave them there for another 5 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them rest on the pan for about 30 minutes before serving.
. Serve them plain, with your dip of choice or other complementary sides. These can be made ahead of time and baked later as well as to be frozen after baking for later re-warming.
