Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Spinach: Start by cooking the spinach in a large pan with just the water clinging to the leaves after washing. Cook for about 5 minutes until wilted. Drain thoroughly and chop finely.
-
Season Spinach: Place the chopped spinach in a bowl and add the egg yolks, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well to combine.
-
Whisk Egg Whites: In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the spinach mixture until well combined.
-
Bake Spinach Mixture: Spread the spinach and egg mixture evenly in a lined and greased 12 X 8 inch Swiss roll tin. Bake in a preheated moderately hot oven (200°C; 400°F) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until risen and firm.
-
Prepare Mushroom Filling: While the spinach is baking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and fry until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until tender.
-
Make Sauce: Stir in the whole wheat flour, then gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
-
Assemble Roll: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over a sheet of greaseproof paper. Once the spinach is baked, carefully turn it out onto the paper and peel off the lining. Spread the prepared mushroom filling evenly over the spinach layer.
-
Roll Up: Carefully roll up the spinach and mushroom mixture like a Swiss roll, using the greaseproof paper to help guide the roll.
-
Serve: Slice the spinach mushroom roll into portions and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
