SPINACH ROULADE
A beautiful dish my mother has made often and it's always been a favorite. A cheesy spinach mixture rolled up in a cheese souffle, from the famous vegetarian Greens Restaurant in San Francisco. The recipe calls for ricotta, but I'm thinking unless you use fresh ricotta there won't be much flavor in the filling. So I plan on adding a few extra ingredients to give it some more umph. Like any ricotta and spinach mixture, it's easy to add onto!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400. Line a 10x15 baking sheet with parchment paper. Put a few dabs of butter on the pan to help anchor the paper then lightly butter and flour the paper, knocking off any extra flour.
- Separate the yolks and whites. Lightly beat the yolks and set them aside. Make a rue by melting the butter, add the flour, stirring constantly then whisk in milk. Cook another 3 minutes, remove from heat and add salt and pepper.
- Gradually whisk some of the mixture into the yolks to warm them, then return everything to the pot to finish combining.
- In a large bowl whisk or beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt (or cream of tartar) until they form smooth peaks.
- Stir about ¼ of the whites and ½ of cheese into the milk mixture, then gently fold in the rest of the whites.
- Pour soufflé mixture on the baking sheet spreading to all corners. Sprinkle to rest of the cheese over the surface. Bake until the top is nicely browned and puffed, about 15 minutes. Remove soufflé from the oven and let it cool. Turn over onto the counter and remove parchment paper. Use a tea towel under to help roll it later.
- Prepare soufflé base and set aside. Wash and cook spinach, seasoned with salt. Drain. Melt butter and cook onion. Squeeze water out of spinach and chop finely. Add to onions. Cook another few minutes.
- Thin ricotta with enough milk until soft and pliable and season with nutmeg and pepper. Preheat the oven to 400. Spread the ricotta over the soufflé and top with spinach. (This is where I plan on adding a bit more. Likely basil, gruyere cheese, sundried tomato and toasted pine nuts.).
- Roll the soufflé, short end first. Transfer to a greased baking sheet, end down to prevent unrolling. Brush the top with cream. Bake lightly covered for 25 minutes
- To serve, ladle sauce on plate and set sliced piece over sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and line a Swiss roll tin (23 x 32cm) with baking paper. Cook the spinach in the microwave according to pack instructions (about 2 mins for each bag), then, when cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much juice as you can. Tip the spinach into a food processor and add the egg yolks, 1 tbsp fromage frais, plenty of seasoning and the flour. Blend until really finely chopped and well mixed.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the spinach mixture. Spread in the tin and bake for 12-15 mins until firm to the touch. 3 Meanwhile, beat the rest of the fromage frais into the garlic & herb cream cheese until creamy. Put a sheet of baking paper on the work surface and dust with a little of the vegetarian parmesan.
- Turn the spinach mixture onto the work surface and carefully strip off the paper. Spread with the cheese mixture and scatter over the tomato. Roll up from the shortest end using the paper to guide you. Serve straight away

Tips:
- To make the roulade more flavorful, use a variety of herbs and spices in the spinach mixture, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and nutmeg.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the spinach by hand.
- Be sure to wring out the spinach as much as possible before adding it to the cream cheese mixture, or the roulade will be too wet.
- To make the roulade easier to roll, place it on a sheet of plastic wrap before spreading the cream cheese mixture on top.
- Be careful not to overcook the roulade, or it will become dry and tough.

Spinach roulade is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this roulade is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
