Method

1. Pulse the bread in the processor until it forms breadcrumbs, then decant it into a bowl.
2. Now add the spinach to the processor and pulse until it's broken down (but not pureed!), then drop in the feta cheese and a few grates of nutmeg and pulse again until fully incorporated; but not blended to a total puree.
3. Wet your hands and roll the filling into balls the size of a ping pong ball. Once the balls are done, rest in the fridge for ten minutes.
4. Put the flour, egg wash and breadcrumbs into three bowls next to each other. Then dip the rolled filling into the flour, eggwash, and breadcrumbs, then once more into the egg wash and again into the breadcrumbs. Continue until all balls are done, then rest back in the fridge.
5. While the breaded balls are in the fridge, heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan until a few breadcrumbs are dropped in and sizzle immediately but don’t burn.
6. Deep fry all the balls for a few minutes just to crisp the outside, then remove from the oil onto a paper towel.
7. Slice the watermelon into thin strips, scatter over a serving dish, season with salt and a pinch of chilli flakes, place the balls randomly on top and finish by scattering fresh mint leaves.
