How to get people to eat spinach. This is a little sweet and not like normal vegetables. Can be eaten hot or cold. Very yummy. Ingredients:
2 lbs english spinach |
3 tablespoons rose water |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 pinch powdered ginger |
4 ounces butter |
6 egg yolks or 4 whole large eggs |
3 ounces currants |
1 pinch ground cinnamon |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Wash and chop small the spinach.
2. (Do not dry it).
3. Cook it gently in a large pan using only the water that clung to the spinach leaves while washing.
4. When cooked, drain it well by pressing and squeezing out the juice in a colander.
5. Return the spinach to the pan and dry it out over a low heat.
6. When most of the moisture is gone, add the butter and stir until it is all absorbed.
7. Beat the eggs in a basin and add them to the spinach along with all other ingredients.
8. Stir well.
9. Taste and adjust all seasonings to your taste.
10. Tip the mixture into a tart tin lined with either puff or shortcrust pastry.
11. Bake for 10 minutes in a hot oven (Mark 6, 200C or 400F).
12. Then turn the oven down (Mark 5, 190C or 375C).
13. Cook for a further 20- 30 minutes until the middle is well risen and browned.
14. Serve hot or cold.
15. Note- Do not overcook the spinach in the pot.
