Thanks! I think the trouble with cooked spinach while growning up was that it was overcooked like 'green' beans were.I prefer spinach lightly cooked.<br /><br />KJ, So glad you stopped by...hope to see you again soon.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36460660.post-28596908239267262552011-02-13T08:23:56.525-08:002011-02-13T08:23:56.525-08:00Hi Elle, long time since I've been past!

I've been using lots of spinach in the last couple of years. Those bags and boxes (Safeway often has big boxes on sale) of baby spinach leaves are so easy to do things with. Just last night I was making something and realized that spinach has become my go-to, when I never liked cooked spinach growing up.<br /><br />Last night, I was using up the last of a bag of Trader Joe frozen roasted corn to go with some leftover pork. I sauteed the corn in olive oil with chopped garlic and some other seasonings until it was heated through. When it was just about ready, I tossed in a couple of handfuls of baby spinach leaves, put a lid on the saute pan, and let the spinach steam for a couple of minutes, then mixed it with the corn. When I put it on the plate, I sprinkled it with pepper and grated Parmesan cheese.<br /><br />The night before, I sauteed some of the spinach with garlic, sprinkled in some fig-infused balsamic vinegar (an impulse purchase at Safeway recently), and cooked briefly until the spinach was wilted, served it with brown rice and a salmon patty (both rice and salmon from Trader Joe's freezer case). Love those almost-instant dinners!<br /><br />I never thought to add the dressing first. That sounds great. I also love the idea of using lemon zest.Next Sister Downnoreply@blogger.com
