• food for thought
• Spinach is an excellent source of iron, calcium, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamin C, riboflavin, sodium, and potassium. But keep in mind that fresh spinach loses much of its nutritional value if it's stored more than a few days. Refrigeration slows the effect somewhat, but it is best to use fresh spinach within a couple of days of buying it. Freezing spinach prevents the loss of most of its nutritional value, so frozen spinach is a great choice, too.

CREAMED SPINACH OMELET

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute spinach in 1/2 tablespoon butter for 1 minute, stirring constantly. In a small bowl, stir flour, 2-3 tablespoons milk and salt until smooth. Add to spinach; cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Set aside and keep warm. , In another bowl, whisk eggs, salt, pepper and remaining milk. In another skillet over medium heat, cook egg mixture in remaining butter. As the eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When eggs are set, spread spinach mixture over half of the omelet. Fold omelet in half and transfer to a warm platter.

• Beat egg and egg whites in a small bowl. Mix in Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, green onion, and bell pepper until tender, about 5 minutes. Place spinach in skillet and cook until just wilted.

SPINACH AND OMELET ROLL

Steps:

• Marinate spinach:
• Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Stir together dashi, mirin, and soy sauce in a large shallow bowl.
• Leaving stems attached, divide spinach into 2 piles. Stack spinach leaves and line up bottoms of stems, then tie each pile into a bundle with kitchen string 1/2 inch from ends of stems. Blanch spinach bundles in a large saucepan of boiling salted water 1 minute and transfer to ice water. When spinach is cool, gently squeeze excess water from bundles and transfer to dashi mixture. Marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, 3 hours.
• Make egg sheet:
• Stir together cornstarch and water in a glass measure. Add eggs, sake, and sugar and beat with a fork just until blended. If mixture is frothy, let stand until foam subsides. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, swirling skillet to coat, and wipe out excess with paper towels. Pour slightly more than 1/3 cup egg mixture into skillet, swirling to cover evenly, and discard remainder. When edges of egg begin to dry, remove skillet from heat and let stand 20 seconds. Carefully turn egg sheet over (Japanese cooks pick it up by gently working a single chopstick under egg sheet across skillet and lifting it, draped over the chopstick). Cook other side 30 seconds and invert egg sheet onto a work surface.
• Assemble rolls:
• When egg sheet is cool enough to handle, arrange on a sushi mat, lining up an edge of sheet with near edge of mat. (If you're not using a sushi mat, keep egg sheet on work surface.) Gently squeeze excess marinade from spinach bundles and trim stem ends to remove string. Keeping bundles intact, arrange spinach horizontally across lower third of egg sheet, with stems of 1 bundle on left and stems of the other on right. Beginning with side nearest to you, roll egg sheet up and over spinach tightly, squeezing mat around roll to tighten, and continue to roll up egg sheet. Trim ends of roll and cut crosswise into 8 pieces.

SPINACH AND GARLIC OMELET

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and wilt in a frying pan over medium-high heat. The water remaining on the spinach leaves after washing will be sufficient. Drain, allow to cool and squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine and toss with half the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
• Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the remaining garlic, salt and pepper to taste and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the spinach over the middle of the egg pancake and top with the Parmesan, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.
