Well
this chopped spinach was supposed to
be a spinach puree. But my stick blender
not only wasn't up to the task, it broke while I was trying to puree it. Sigh…
I
had a nice bag of spinach – mostly youngish leaves. I de-stalked them – and then also mostly
de-veined them – a bit train-spotterish and I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't
trying to make a smooth puree.
Wash
your spinach thoroughly. And then just
cook it lightly for 3-5 minutes in a pot with no added water other than that
which is clinging to the leaves after washing and draining.
Puree
(or chop!) your cooked spinach and season with salt and pepper, freshly grated
nutmeg and a spoonful of butter melted into it.
Yum – and good for you too!
chopped spinach is wonderful - but with Greek predominant in my background - garlic, olive oil and feta cheese goes in my chopped spinach!

Oh, too bad about your stick blender... but the chopped spinach still looks delicious. Think I'll add a little nutmeg to mine next time.
ReplyDeleteI love spinach, but I usually have to sneak it into soups to get the rest of the family to eat it!
ReplyDeleteI love Spinach--it's one of the few good-for-me-vegetables I do like, so I eat it a lot, but eating spinach salads does get tiring after a while. This might be the next spinach side I try--as much as I love it, I'm feeling the need for a break from the raw spinach for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI love spinach--it's one of the few good-for-me-vegetables I do like, but I get tired of the raw spinach salads after awhile, so this might have to be the next spinach side I try! When I pretty much hate all the other green leaves like lettuce and such, have to find a way to vary the spinach somehow.
ReplyDeleteI think I would prefer my spinach chopped...and I always add nutmeg!
ReplyDeleteYum! Spinach is such hard work for the small amount you end up with but I do love it!
ReplyDeleteBummer on your stick blender, but I love fresh spinach.
ReplyDeleteLove spinach. Nothing tastes like it.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Weekend Cooking post.
My family loves spinach sauteed with a little olive oil, garlic and kosher salt.
