"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Florentine Style

 

Ingredients

2 1/2 lb fresh spinach, (or 3 10 oz pk frozen lea
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp nutmeg
3 tbsp flour
1 cup milk, (warmed) salt and pepper



 

Preparation

I did some research on Florentine, and decided there is no one recipe
to follow, so I`ll give you my version. The florentine part of tne
recipe is basically a bed of spinach. The meat is varied, such as
fried fish, veal cutlets, sliced steak. pork cutlets, chicken
cutlets. Use your imagination.

Wash and cook the spinach in a small amount of water. Drain well
(squeeze with hands when cool enough), chop coarsely. In a large pan
melt butter in olive oil and when hot add spinach and fry lightly.
Season with salt, pepper, + nutmeg. Sprinkle in the flour, add the
warm milk and stir. Simmer for a few minutes. Transfer to a baking
dish and keep warm in oven. Prepare meat or fish. When ready top the
spinach with the meat and serve hot.
