The baked spinach rolls offer a true mineral treasure trove with plenty of calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron.

Ingredients

  • 140 g flour (type 1050)
  • 300 ml milk (1.5% fat)
  • Salt
  • 800 g fresh leaf spinach
  • 30 g Rapeseed oil (3 tbsp)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 100 g mild cheese (sliced)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Whisk the flour with the milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl using a hand mixer until smooth, then let it rest for 10 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Meanwhile wash, rinse and trim the spinach. In a large pot heat 1 tbsp oil. Add the spinach, cook until wilted, then drain through a sieve and season with salt.

  3. 3.

    Separate the eggs; whisk the yolks into the flour-milk mixture. Beat the whites to stiff peaks and fold them in with a whisk.

  4. 4.

    Heat ½ tbsp oil in a non-stick pan. Pour one portion of batter and cook for about 2 minutes on each side over medium heat; repeat until four golden pancakes are ready.

  5. 5.

    Whisk the tahini with 3 tbsp water until creamy. Spread 1 tbsp of this mixture on each pancake, top with spinach, and roll up.

  6. 6.

    Cut the rolls into slices about 3 cm thick. Grease a large shallow baking dish (≈31x20 cm) with butter and arrange the rolls tightly together.

  7. 7.

    Slice the cheese into finger‑wide strips and lay them in a grid over the spinach rolls. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan, gas mark 3) on the middle rack for about 15 minutes until bubbling.

  8. 8.

    Serve hot, optionally with a drizzle of extra tahini sauce.
