Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon course salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (or pinch freshly ground - I sometimes add up to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon too)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry; or 1/2 pound fresh spinach, rinsed, stems removed, and leaves chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 4 to 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Splash of hot sauce (optional, but recommended)

Directions
  1. Heat oil in a wide frying pan over high heat. Crumble in beef and cook, stirring often, until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in salt, nutmeg, pepper, oregano and spinach; cook for about 5 more minutes. Add eggs. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, just until eggs are softly set.

As the salt is dissolved int he cooking liquids, does it matter if it is table or coarse salt?


I don't think it matters - just better flavor with the kosher or sea salts.


I believe this is the recipe my step mom made on our ski trips to Tahoe back in the late 70's! OMG soooo good, warm and filling!
