directions

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 6, 200ºC, 400ºF.
  • Defrost the spinach and squeeze as much liquid out of it as possible.
  • Boil the rice in salted water until 'al dente'.
  • Fry the onion in the olive oil until soft and golden.
  • Break the eggs into a cup and beat lightly.
  • Put the rice in a large bowl and add the Parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Add the spinach, onion and butter, followed by the eggs.
  • Mix everything together thoroughly.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish. Make sure it's not too big - the mixture should be three inches or so deep.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, until firm and golden brown.

  1. Delicious and easy to do, pretty economical too in the scheme of things. I probably under salted mine but that is easy to remedy. I used a mix of kale and spinach in mine. Made for ZWT 7.
     
  2. Lovely dish! Made for ZWT #7 and our team, Witchin Kitchen and I'm so glad I did. Very nice luncheon side dish and it would really travel well to a picnic or in a lunch. Thanks for posting this, it's a keeper!
     
  3. We loved this! I made it exactly as written, and it was a huge hit with our whole family! The leftovers were a great addition to the school lunchboxes today. I will be making this again, for sure! Made for ZWT7 - Italy.
