To broaden my culinary repetoire,  I have taken to task a new recipe to try out each week.  This week:  Spinach Gratin.

Spinach Gratin

First preheat oven to 180 degrees and grease a 10 inch round dish [or something similar] with a bit of olive oil.

In a bowl mix a cup and half of finely chopped spinach,  3/4 cup of crumbed organic firm tofu and 2 -2 1/2 cups of pre cooked brown rice.  Add 1/2 chopped medium red onion,  10  chopped olives, 1/3 cup of chopped pine nuts and a tablespoon of olive oil then mix in a 1/3 cup of grated parmesan or gruyere cheese.

In a small bowl whisk 3 eggs and a teaspoon of sea salt and add to rice mixture

Pour the mixture in the round dish and sprinkle with grated parmean or gruyere cheese.   Bake for 30 minutes or until it is set and the topping is golden and brown

Sprinkle almonds and olives on top and serve.

Picture above is actually leftovers for lunch today.
