I was one of those strange kids who loved spinach, and I still really love it. My favorite is creamed spinach (so hard to beat), but most of the time I eat it raw in salad, or saute it quickly with garlic and olive oil. This recipe is definitely one that I'll add to my quick spinach repertoire. It was quick, easy--the hardest part was getting out my steamer--and I really liked the flavor. I also really like that the recipe made a lot of spinach. Spinach shrinks so much when it cooks, and I feel like most recipes don't make nearly enough. I served this with Ina's Mustard Roasted Fish, which is not the healthiest recipe but delicious and so easy, and Foccacia for an easy but tasty Sunday night dinner.
I am fond of creamed spinach, but this healthier version will do in a pinch!
ReplyDeleteI never liked spinach as a kid (there was lots of canned spinach, because that's what my dad liked! ew), but I've come to love it as an adult. This recipe is so good! And it does make a lot, which is also very nice. Well done!
ReplyDeletehmmm ... making spinach in steamer ? interesting ...
ReplyDeleteh.
I think a spinach salad is such a lovely dish. I love the hardboiled egg and bacon that comes with it. This recipe was quick and easy, we just loved it. Have a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteMMmm...both your spinach and fish look delish!!! Happy Easter!!!
ReplyDeleteDespite growing up on canned spinach I still like it (I think I even liked it out of a can - wonder how that would work today?)
ReplyDeleteThe fish sounds delicious.
I was one of those kids, too. There's so much that can be done with greens and this lemon zest version is fantastic! The fish sounds delicious, too. Have a great long weekend!
ReplyDeleteI adore creamed spinach, though this version was delicious too. The fish looks good too. I've been making something similar this winter, though not that exact recipe. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI haven't met a version of creamed spinach I didn't love. This weeks recipe is definitely the saner, weekday alternative (or foil to richer dishes like your fish, which also looks great!).
ReplyDeleteI love spinach too. This looks great with roasted fish.
