Ingredients
Misc.1 classical movieTools1 medium sauce-pan1 oven-safe frying-pan/skillet1 flipper/cooking spatula1 rubber spatula1 chopping knife1 cutting board1 stove1 oven with a broiler1 butter knifeIngredients4 cups cooked Brown rice 4 cup Frozen Spinach 16 oz 73% Lean Ground Beef 1 small Onions, raw 1 small bulb of Garlic 1 dozen jumbo Eggs 2 cups shredded cheesewater
First, put on the classical movie so you can watch it while you cook. I choose 'The mill of the stone women'.
Start cooking the brown rice in the medium saucepan Brown rice takes about an hour to cook.
While the brown rice is cooking brown the ground beef in the oven-safe frying-pan/skillet. DO NOT DRAIN THE GREASE.
Once the ground beef is cooked add the frozen spinach and use the grease to cook it. If there is not enough liquid for the frozen spinach add a few tablespoons of water. There should be barely enough liquid to cook the spinach but no standing water.
mince the garlic and the onion and mix them in with the ground beef and the spinach.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring gently to prevent burning, until the rice is ready. Your goal is to cook off as much standing moisture as possible. Be patient and resist the urge to strain the mix or cook it over higher heat or you could strain away the flavor or burn the dish.
Mix the cooked rice into the other mixture a little at a time.
Move an oven rack under the broiler and turn the broiler on low.
While the broiler is heating up break the eggs into the mixture and use the rubber spatula to break the yokes and gently fold the eggs and the mixture together. Everything should be well saturated with egg when done.
Turn the stove off and use the hot-pads to put the frying-pan/skillet under the broiler.
Broil for 4 minutes and then test the dish by sticking the butter knife in the middle.
If the knife does not come out clean broil for 2 more minutes and test again. It should not take more than 8 minutes to cook the frittata under the broiler.
When done turn off the broiler and take the frittata out of the oven.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the warm frittata and let it melt in.
Cut into 8 slices and serve immediately or put into baggies or containers and store in the fridge. You can reheat the pieces by nuking them for a minute each.
