Cottage Cheese and Spinach Gratin

My digital camera broke, so I haven't updated in awhile.
Thankfully I received a new one for Christmas from my
parents.
This recipe I got from "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone"
by Deborah Madison

I got this cookbook from my aunt, and the gratin is the first recipe
I've tried from it. I can't wait to make more because everything in
this cookbook sounds so good.



2 bunches spinach, stems removed
5 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup parsley
1/2 teaspoon dill seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups small-curd cottage cheese
salt and freshly milled pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously oil 8 by 10 inch gratin dish.

Cook the spinach with the water clinging to its leaves in a wide skillet over medium heat until wilted. Press out liquid, but reserve it. Finely chop the spinach.

Beat the eggs and add the herbs and cheese along with 1/2 tsp salt and a little pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach and the reserved cooking liquid. Pour into the prepared dish and bake until set, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut and serve with fresh parsley.
