If using fresh spinach, wash the spinch and remove the
rough stems. Place in large bowl and sprinkle heavily
with salt. Rub the salt into the leaves by thakin
them up, a bunch at a time, and rubbing them between
your hands; the volume of spinach will decrease
drastically as you do. Tear the sponach up as you do
this. Rinse the salt off thoroughly and dry the
spinach, squeezing it in bunches in a towel. (If
using frozen spinach, just let it thaw and squeeze out
the excess moisture.) Saute the onion and mushrooms in
a little olive oil and butter with the garlic and salt
and pepper to taste. When both onions and mushrooms
are tender remove from heat. Beat the eggs in a large
bowl and crumble in the feta, add the parmesan, then
the spinach, onions, mushrooms, stir in the parsley,
organo, rosemary, some freshly ground pepper, and a
little salt (remembering the feta is very salty
