Une ancienne recette que j'ai un peu "revisitée" pour en faire un plat du soir en été un verre de rosé à la main

Ingredients for 6 servings

The name "Nissarda" means the way it is done in Nice, south of France. This is a very old traditional recipe that I slightly modified to make it into a nice summery dinner...

Spinach "Nissarda" recipe for 6 people :

3.5 kg fresh spinach
2 cloves of garlic, cored and crushed
6 eggs

some olive oilsalt and freshly ground pepper

Step-by-step directions

1- Trim and thoroughly wash the spinach. Then, coarsely chop it.

2- Heat up 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron pot. Add the garlic. Cook it slightly and put your spinach into the pot. Season well and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Then set aside.

3- Start your oven at 240'C (464'F)

4- Break the eggs in a bowl and season them. Then, beat them into an omelette.

5- Add the spinach and pour the mixture into an oven dish. Bake for 10 minutes. When done, drizzle a little bit of olive oil on the top of the spinach and serve.

This dish can either be served hot or luck warm with a nice mixed salad.
