Spinach in cooking
Spinach is a herbaceous plant or leaf vegetable that came to us from Ancient Persia.
In Europe, people began to use the plant for food in the Middle Ages, but in Russia it appeared only two centuries ago. In Arab countries, spinach is especially valued. It is used in cooking in fresh and dry form. The plant is rich in vitamins C, A, E, D2, K, groups B and P, contains iodine, iron and manganese, which help inhibit the development of malignant tumors, restore memory and improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system. The presence of fiber promotes intestinal function and cleanses the body of toxins. An omelette or scrambled eggs with spinach for breakfast will enhance brain activity and increase performance.
Contraindications to eating spinach are cholelithiasis, gout, individual intolerance.
How to choose
Fresh and frozen spinach is available for sale. When choosing, pay attention to the following features:
- color. The leaves should be a rich green color without dark spots;
- freshness. Limp leaves that are not crunchy to the touch indicate that the plant was picked a long time ago and should not be eaten;
- presence of roots. Twigs with roots retain freshness and nutritional properties longer.
Storing a fresh plant for a long time is not recommended. Freezing will allow you to use it all year round. The vegetable is not subjected to heat treatment before freezing.
Cooking features
Green spinach omelette is very easy to prepare - just follow the basic rules.
- Boil it. The first water is drained and cooked until tender in the second. The oxalinic acid contained in the vegetable will help neutralize milk. Add it to the water when cooking.
- Use leaves. Only the leaves of the plant are used for food.
- Consume immediately. During long-term storage, nitrogenous salts are formed in dishes with spinach, which are harmful to the body.
In cooking, the plant is also used to color dough. Along with beet and carrot juice, spinach juice is a natural coloring agent used to color pasta and baking dough.
Classic recipe
The easiest recipe for cooking is in a frying pan.
Low in calories, it is good for dietary nutrition. You can make the omelet with frozen spinach or use fresh. You will need:
- chicken eggs - 3 pieces;
- spinach leaves - 50 g;
- milk - 2 tablespoons;
- spices.
Preparation
- Boil the vegetable in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Cut into small pieces.
- Beat eggs with milk and spices.
- Simmer the leaves in oil for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the egg-milk mixture over the leaves. Cover with a lid. Fry until a crust forms.
- Turn the cake over, cover the pan with a lid and leave for 5 minutes until cooked, turning off the heat.
- Serve the dish by cutting into portions. Bon appetit!
Preparation
Spinach has been known since ancient times to the peoples of Western Asia, where it received the title of “general” among the famous greens. Once in Europe, he won the love first at the court of Queen Medici, and then among ordinary citizens.
1. Any variety of spinach is suitable for scrambled eggs: both wavy and smooth. The main selection criterion is freshness. Spinach is a very delicate plant and does not tolerate long-term storage. Nutrients and vitamins almost completely disappear from it in just 3-4 days. So, if possible, it is best to use spinach directly from the garden or at least immediately after purchase. It should be washed thoroughly under cold running water, lightly shaken and cut into large pieces along with the stems.
2. Then you need to peel the garlic clove and cut it into thin slices. After this, you need to heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. It should not be hot, otherwise the garlic and spinach will burn. It is enough to heat the oil to 90 degrees. Throw chopped garlic into it and saute it for 2-3 minutes.
3. The oil will absorb the garlic aroma. After this, reduce the heat to low and add chopped spinach to the frying pan. The leaves should simmer a little (5 minutes), but there is no need to close the lid and add water. There is quite enough of it in the greenery itself. Tender spinach will quickly become limp and reduce in volume.
4. By this time you need to prepare the eggs. They should be washed, broken into a cup, salt and pepper and beaten thoroughly with a whisk or fork. The whites and yolks should be combined. This mash needs to be poured over the stewed spinach.
5. After this, close the pan with a lid and leave on low heat for another 5 minutes.

How to quickly cook an omelet with spinach
Wash the green ingredients of the omelet, namely bell peppers and spinach, in cold water. Shake the leaves vigorously over the sink, get rid of drops of moisture, then chop the tender spinach greens arbitrarily, but not large.
Press the stalk of the peppercorn into the fruit, then carefully break it off. Dissolve the pulp into halves, wrap the unnecessary pulp in a plastic bag and hide it in the general compartment of the refrigerator.
Clean the inside of half the pepper selected for the omelet with the edge of a teaspoon, removing seeds and thin membranes. Rinse the pulp again with water and spread into half-centimeter squares.
Make sure the eggs are fresh, which is easy to do by dropping them into a cup one at a time and inspecting them. Then pour into a bowl of at least a liter volume, beat first with a fork or whisk. Add salt, add the ripper and a third of the flour, stir with a mixer, installing spatulas (spirals) and setting to medium speed.
Having rubbed the lumps in the omelette mixture, add milk, add the remaining flour and beat again. Place a section of baking sleeve in a heat-resistant container for a microwave oven, tying it at one end, and carefully straighten it out. Place the greens inside the bag and pour in the egg mixture.
We select the microwave operating mode, designed for medium power, and program the timer to stop after seven minutes. We don’t tie the bag, just carefully cover it, place the container inside the oven, and when the omelette is ready, immediately put it on a plate.

Option 3: Omelet with spinach in the form of a roll stuffed with vegetables and mushrooms
The omelette layer is relatively thin, but when rolled into a roll, it looks very fluffy and appetizing. You can do things a little differently with champignons, and the omelette will benefit significantly from this. Take canned mushrooms; the marinade in them should not be too sour or spicy, but have a concentrated mushroom flavor. Finely chop the champignons, place them in the pan at the same time as the corn, dilute the soy concentrate with the marinade by half, reducing its amount accordingly.
Ingredients
:
- olive oil;
- three hundred grams of frozen corn and spinach;
- six eggs;
- half a glass of milk;
- a handful of chopped onion feathers;
- a third of a glass of soy concentrate;
- salt;

- large red pepper (bell pepper).
How to cook
Blot the washed champignons from moisture and loosen them into thin slices. Cut the pepper into four slices, scrape out the partitions and seeds from them with a spoon, rinse the pulp and dissolve into cubes. Heat two or three tablespoons of oil and place mushrooms and peppers in a frying pan, simmer while stirring until softened.
After adding the corn, stir and heat for about three minutes, then set aside and let the sauté cool slowly. Place the spinach in a blender bowl, pour in the milk, remove the egg yolks, and grind into a uniform color mixture. Pour the whites into a bowl, sprinkle the layers with a quarter spoon and quickly beat with a mixer until foamy.
From the blender bowl, transfer the mixture with a spoon to the whites and very carefully mix with them. Line a spacious roasting pan with extra foil, letting its edges hang slightly over the sides. After buttering it thickly, place it in a hot oven to warm up for three minutes, then remove it and pour the omelette mixture into it. Quickly return to the oven and bake, keeping the heat at 180-190 degrees, it will take about ten minutes.
Pour concentrated soy sauce into a frying pan with sautéed mushrooms, sprinkle with herbs, and heat for three minutes. Remove the omelette and foil from the roasting pan by pulling the edges of the thin metal. Carefully separate the omelette layer from the foil and transfer it to a clean cloth, spread the hot filling over it, leaving a little in the pan. Season the sauté with salt and pepper, roll the layer into a roll shape and place on an oblong serving plate. Place the reserved sauté on top.

Pour boiling water in the volume recommended by the manufacturer into the multicooker bowl and start the steaming program. Pour the omelette mixture into silicone cupcake molds, place it on a lattice container and place it inside the appliance. Cook for twenty minutes.
I am absolutely sure that you will love this dish. Breakfast for the whole family. Delicious, very healthy. Granddaughter loves it very much. She doesn't really like spinach stewed in butter yet. Small children generally do not really like dishes made from zucchini and eggplant. Spinach is no exception here. But scrambled eggs with spinach, oddly enough, is her favorite dish. Below is the recipe.

Ingredients:
- spinach leaves - 100 g;
- 1 small onion;
- 1-2 tomatoes (can be cherry)
- 2 eggs;
- 2 tbsp. spoons of grated hard cheese (Dutch, Parmesan);
- 2 tbsp. spoons of milk or cream;
- salt, red pepper to taste;
- olive or sunflower (flavorless) oil.
First, lightly beat the eggs with grated cheese in a bowl. Add milk or cream, salt, pepper to taste (pepper may not be added). When adding salt, do not overdo it, as cheese, especially Dutch cheese, is salty. Mix everything thoroughly. Set the bowl aside.
Chop the onion. Take a frying pan - preferably with a non-stick coating - place it over medium heat, add a little olive or sunflower (odorless) oil. Slightly simmer the finely chopped onions and tomato slices. There is no need to heat the pan too much. Add the leaves (if they are small, then there is no need to cut them, but chop the large ones not very finely), stir quickly. Stir until the water and juice evaporate. But don't fry it. The leaves should be soft.
Then add the beaten eggs and cheese to the pan. You can stir the scrambled eggs with the spinach until the eggs are no longer runny. And I don’t stir, but cover the frying pan with a lid, fry the scrambled eggs over low heat until they harden on top, as in the photo.
If you want to cook scrambled eggs with spinach for all family members at once, then increase the amount of ingredients, and at the last stage, additionally sprinkle the egg mixture with grated cheese, put the pan in the oven, preheated to 180°C. Bake until the scrambled eggs have a delicious crust.
Feel free to fantasize and experiment! Add finely chopped sausage, or pieces of boiled chicken, or shrimp, or mushrooms. The cheese can also be any kind. Everything will be very tasty!

Hello everyone and have a nice day!
Would you like to treat yourself to a slightly unusual omelet? Vegetable, but satisfying, bright, cheerful, and, in my opinion, more delicious than a regular frying pan omelette.
Why is it filling? Yes, because it's an omelette with spinach.
! With this very special leafy vegetable. After all, spinach looks like an ordinary green, but at the same time it is incredibly rich in protein and other benefits, and is very filling.
I have already written about the beneficial properties of spinach and what other delicious things you can cook with it.
Why does the omelette taste better than usual? Because we will bake it in the oven. In my opinion, an omelet from the oven turns out more tender, airier, juicier - tastier, in general. I highly recommend baking an omelet with spinach.
Don't want to bake or don't have time? Cook as usual, in a frying pan, it will also work out well
At the end of the article there will be more announcements and congratulations, but for now let’s cook

Making an omelet with spinach:
If you use fresh spinach, then before using it you need to wash it, cut it and simmer in a frying pan in a small amount of water for 7-10 minutes (this is to soften the leaves). Then drain the excess liquid from the pan.
Everything cooks very quickly, so immediately grease the baking tray with butter. I have a baking tray 25 x 30 cm with low sides.
Spinach can be defrosted in advance at room temperature, or you can put it in the microwave on the “Defrost” mode for 2 minutes.
Finely chop the spinach.
Wash the tomatoes, cut out the stem and also finely chop.
Spread the spinach evenly on a baking sheet.
Then lay out the tomatoes.
Now let’s prepare the familiar omelette mixture: beat the eggs into a saucepan and add milk.
Add salt and lightly whisk.
Pour the vegetables with the milk-egg mixture. You can also sprinkle with grated cheese.
Set to bake at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Isn’t it true that it’s bright and sunny in summer? And unusual. By the way, if you want to cook an omelette in another unusual way, here’s another one for you.
Enjoy your meal!
