Joe's Special
Yield 4-6 Servings
Free of: gluten and top 8 food allergens.
An irresistible scramble!
Ingredients
2 tbsp + 1 tsp vegetable oil, divided (1 tbsp + 1 tsp + 1 tbsp)
1 cup diced yellow onion
3/4 tsp salt, divided (1/4 tsp + 1/2 tsp)
1 tbsp minced garlic
8 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 pound ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken) or Beyond Meat
1/2 tsp dried oregano or dried basil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
5 ounces baby spinach, rough chopped (or one 10-ounce package frozen, thawed and drained)
3/4 cup JUST Egg, optional (see recipe notes)
1/4 cup grated alternative parmesan cheese, such as Violife's Just Like Parmesan
Gluten-free baguette or other bread
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and ¼ tsp salt. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, another 3-4 minutes. Transfer from the skillet to a bowl or plate.
- Add a teaspoon of oil to the empty skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and sprinkle with remaining ½ tsp salt, oregano, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a potato masher or spatula into crumbles. Continue to cook until the beef is fully cooked through with no trace of pink remaining, about 8 to 10 minutes. Pour off any excess fat.
- Add the onion and mushroom mixture back into the skillet. Fold in the spinach in 3 batches, stirring just until it wilts. If you are using frozen spinach, add it all at this time (thawed and drained well).
- The dish is ready as is. However, if egg allergy is not an issue, make a well in the center of the beef and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the eggs; scramble until completely cooked. Serve and garnish with cheese.
Notes
If egg allergy is not an issue, substitute 4 whole eggs, lightly whipped, for the JUST Egg. JUST Egg does contain soy.
If you have an allergy or you're vegan, this special is just as good without eggs.
