This swiss roll is ideal to get out of the classic, a great idea complementing all the flavor and nutrients of spinach. And it is also easy to prepare, it uses few ingredients and best of all, you can do it at home, free of additives and preservatives!
Let’s talk about the recipe:
This recipe is easy to make, the ingredients are simple and easily available in any store. It is a recipe that does not carry any complications at all. The only thing to keep in mind is that you need to beat a lot to achieve a tape stage. Therefore, if you have a hand blender or kitchen robot, it will be very useful!
What is the ribbon stage? After beating the eggs with the sugar at maximum speed, between 10-15 minutes it becomes clear and thick. And when you lift the mixer, the part of the mixture that falls remains in a complete form, it does not disappear or disintegrate with the rest. It remains on the surface of the rest of the preparation, forming like a ribbon.
One feature to differentiate from this recipe is the star ingredient, spinach. Which does not need any previous cooking. Although, if it is to your liking to cook it or you have left from a previous meal, it can be used anyway. But as a fact, using raw spinach ensures that it keeps all the ingredients and its flavor intact.
The way to use spinach is in the form of a purée, and you can do it with a mini blender or processor. This procedure requires a bit of work, so adding a bit of water will make the machine work better. Its integration is done after obtaining the ribbon stage, at minimum speed.
Once the preparation is ready, it is very important to integrate the flour with enveloping movements. It is done in this way to prevent the consistency of the beat from falling. So remember not to mix roughly and do the envolvent movements delicately and smoothly.
About Cooking:
When it comes to baking swiss rolls, the common problem is that they stick a lot. Therefore, you should always use parchment paper and also spread it with butter or oil as well (don’t forget to do this to avoid future headaches). The baking sheet used in this recipe measures 30 x 40 centimeters / 11.81 x 15.74 inches.
When the preparation is turned over on the baking sheet, it is spread with a spatula and left as even as possible. Avoid hitting the mold with the preparation on the table, as it may lower the beat, ruining the preparation and its result is not as expected.
Its cooking was carried out in a common home oven, and it is done at high temperature. If you have a convector oven, use both heat options (up and down) on low. Adapt the baking of this recipe according to the oven you have at home. The cooking time is similar in both cases.
Another difficulty that can occur is exceeding the cooking time. So keep an eye on the oven and be vigilant. Because if you overcook you will get a hard, brittle swiss roll, and it will not be able to bend and give the shape of a classic roll.
About the filling:
The filling is left to the imagination and taste of each one. This time I used brown rice with homemade mayonnaise, seasoned to taste before using. Also, I used grated carrots that add a touch of flavor and freshness.
Other ideas to use in this whole wheat spinach swiss roll are: chicken, minced meat, tuna, tomato, lettuce, quinoa, burgol, etc. What you want to use is going to be very, very good! Because eating healthy and whole wheat is not boring or torture, cheer up!
