Another San Francisco favorite from the city's glory days. Got it from
here - http://www.cooksrecipes.com
It's a dish found at most of the "Joe's" restaurants all over the bay area.
Joe's Special

Some say this famous San Francisco specialty was devised by a San Francisco
chef as a variation on the Italian frittata. Others insist it was created as
an after-hours snack by dance-band musicians of the 1920's. A third theory
attributes the dish to miners who frequented the city's riotous Barbary
Coast district in the 1850's. Whatever its origin may be, this hearty
mixture of beef, onions, spinach and eggs makes a satisfying meal any time
of the day or night.

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon dry oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry; or 1/2
pound fresh spinach, rinsed, stems removed, and leaves chopped (about 4
cups)
4 to 6 large eggs, lightly beaten

Heat oil in a wide frying pan over high heat. Crumble in beef and cook,
stirring often, until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add onions, garlic and mushrooms; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring
occasionally, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in salt, nutmeg, pepper, oregano and spinach; cook for about 5 more
minutes. Add eggs. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, just
until eggs are softly set.
Makes 6 servings.

Great meal Bear!!

A definite winner.  Some Tabasco on it gave it some kick as well.

Served it last night, with a nice side salad and very yummy, with a
bit left for a re-heat lunch

Bear -- do you think leaving the stems on the spinach will make any
significiant difference?  I'm too lazy to remove them, and honestly, I want
them in me :)  Will keeping them (but chopping the spinach) change the dish
somehow?  I mean, spinach all but disappears once heated, right?

another question: if you put this in one top of some LC tortillas in a pan,
would it come out like a quiche?

Hey Roger,
I think the stems are fine if you like them. It's a matter of personal
taste. I buy prewashed spinach and just toss it in. It's a pretty casual
dish.
As to the tortillas... I've thought of doing that myself with other things
but never tried it. I suspect it would just end up a soggy tortilla.
Let me know if you try it.
Thanks Roger.
