Semolina and Spinach Gratin

This spinach and semolina gratin is a wonderfully comforting vegetarian main dish that offers a unique alternative to traditional potato-based bakes. The combination of fine semolina flour and nutrient-rich spinach creates a soft, almost soufflé-like texture that is enriched with whisked eggs and a hint of warming nutmeg. Topped with a generous layer of Parmesan, it develops a delicious golden crust in the oven that provides a lovely contrast to the creamy interior.

Ideal for a simple midweek supper or as a sophisticated side dish for a Sunday roast, this bake is both versatile and satisfying. Because it uses frozen spinach, it is a brilliant pantry-staple recipe for when fresh greens are scarce, providing a wholesome, iron-rich meal the whole family will enjoy. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or some roasted vine tomatoes to complete the meal.
