Method

5 soļi
  1. Pick over the spinach, removing tough stalks and yellow leaves, and wash it in several changes of water.
  2. Boil it in a large pan of salted water for 1–2 minutes, until wilted. Drain, cool under cold water, squeeze out as much water as you can and chop finely.
  3. Hard-boil the eggs for 9–10 minutes, cool them in cold water, peel and halve. Or cut the bread lengthwise into fingers and fry them in butter until golden on both sides.
  4. Warm the spinach in the butter with a little salt over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring.
  5. Pile it in a warm dish and set the eggs, cut side up, or the fried bread around it.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the method is the book's: spinach picked over, washed, boiled, drained, squeezed and chopped fine, then braised with butter and salt until done, and garnished with halved hard-boiled eggs or lengthwise slices of white bread fried in butter. The amounts and times are ours.

Spinach

spring and autumn crops are best. Chard or young nettles can be cooked the same way.

Topping

the book also suggests laying an egg pancake on top (06-015).
