A gratitude post with a recipe gift:
Well today was the day I thought I would be cooking on TV. Seems like the universe had other plans. The camembert chicken won the day.
Thanks to everyone who voted for me.
Here is my simple recipe. I hope you enjoy making your version of this slice. I absolutley love looking at recipe books, browsing the internet for new recipes and then making my version of the dish. Often it depends on what’s in the fridge and the cupboard at the time.
Simply Scrumptious Spinach Slice
3 large or 4 small eggs
14 ounces/40o Grams of Fresh Ricotta Cheese
2 medium Sweet potatoes, peel, thinly slice and steam for 10 minutes
1 bunch of English Spinach- you can use silverbeet- remember to wash it well or you will have one gritty slice
9 ounces/250 grams of frozen spinach (use this if you don’t have access to fresh spinach)Usually comes in a box-I buy mine from Aldi
20 grates of nutmeg
Half a Punnet of cherry tomatoes- halved
Ground salt and pepper.
1 greased baking dish- 30 x 18 cm/12 inches x 7 inches
Heat the oven to 170 C/330F
Put the eggs and ricotta into a food processor and mix.
Add grates of nutmeg, grate or 2 of salt and pepper, the washed and frozen spinach and mix until combined.
Layer half the spinach mix into the baking dish, then a layer of the sliced steamed sweet potatoes. You could use pumkin, carrots, mushrooms, etc. whatever takes your fancy.
Then layer the second half of the spinach mixture. Top with the sliced cherry tomotoes and grate fresh parmesan over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes- every oven is different- it is ready when it shrinks from the sides of the baking dish.
Serve with a fresh salad or baked potato.
Preparation Time takes 20-30 minutes
Enjoy.

Oh well Suzie – I’m sure something better was in store for you. Who needs trashy camembert chicken anyway? Here’s to slice!

thanks Robin for the encouragement- some people are asking me to try again, maybe desert and probably not too healthy:)
Suzie, I’m looking forward to cooking this tomorrow night. The beetroot as an accompaniment looks great, think I’ll include that as well.
I’m so inspired with cooking at the moment due to my addiction with Master Chef. I cooked George’s beef kofta’s for the boys last night. It nearly tempted me to eat meat.
Let’s catch up soon

The beetroot was a Jamie Oliver Recipe- bake beetroot, wrapped in foil, with red onion, head of garlic, olive oil, red balsamic vinegar and fresh oregano
Yes to catching up soon

Suzie
Oh, just had a thought. Perhaps they’ll create a book of all the weekly finalists and you’ll manifest fame in a book.
Food for thought.

Sorry to hear you didn’t win, Suzie. But I am certain history will eventually vindicate your Spinach Slice. ;o)

Thanks for you support Johnathon
Suzie,
Thanks for giving both ounces and grams! I still to this day, although I have lived in the United States for over 20 years, have not converted from the metric system. Maybe my subconscious is telling me something?
