4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Medium-size tomatoes
pounds Spinach; cleaned, remove stems
3 ounces Minced onions
2 tablespoons Clarified butter
3 ounces Parmesan cheese; grated
1 pinch Basil
1 pinch Oregano
Salt and white pepper
3 ounces Bread crumbs

1. Core the tomatoes. Turn them over with a knife & cut into each one around the sides all the way down so that a cone shape emerges.

2. Cook spinach in 3 tbs. of water for 3 min., stirring frequently. Remove spinach and drain in colander, squeezing out all moisture. Chop spinach finely.
