Spinach Gratin

Spinach Gratin recipe, eat well on universal credit

We needed Spinach for a recipe the other day. I appreciate that it wilts down, but why do we always have to buy it in industrial quantities?

So what to do with left-over Spinach? This worked really well as a side dish.

Ingredients:-

½ an Onion, finely sliced
2 Tbsp of Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
¼ Tsp of dry Thyme
240ml of Milk (Lactose free for us)
2 Tbsp of Ground Cashew Nuts
3 Tbsp of Dairy Free Margarine
140g of Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
100g of Cheese (Lactose free for us)
200g of Spinach
20g of Italian style grated Cheese
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) On a low heat add a little oil to a frying pan and fry the Onions until softened.
(2) Sprinkle the Flour over Onions.
(3) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(4) Add the Spinach and Thyme and stir in.
(5) Lower the heat until the Spinach has wilted.
(6) Whisk the ground Cashew Nuts into the Milk and add to the pan.
(7) Allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
(8) Add the Cheese.
(9) Spoon the mix into oven proof dishes.
(10) Add the melted Margarine to the Breadcrumbs along with the Italian style Grated Cheese.
(11) Sprinkle over and place in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 15 to 20 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.

We served this as a side for a small Pork Leg cut. This outshone the rather tough bit of Pig!
