INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. 2 Remove the stalks from
the spinach, and wash the leaves several times to remove the earth.
Cook them in the boiling water for 5 minutes. 3 Strain the spinach,
pressing it between your hands to get rid of as much water as
possible. Put it in a saucepan over a low heat so that the rest of the
water evaporates. The spinach will cook down. Stir frequently to
prevent it burning. Season. 4 Mix the egg yolk with the cream in a
bowl, and pour over the spinach when it is ready. Serve immediately.
Campanile tip: Serve the spinach hot. It goes well with roast veal or
you can serve it with hard-boiled eggs. Spinach originated in the
Middle-East, probably in Persia. In the Middle Ages, it was sold
either fresh or cooked, chopped and pressed into balls, called
"espinoches". Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
