AMBER'S OLD FASHIONED SPINACH W/ A FLARE!



Amber's Old Fashioned Spinach w/ a Flare! image

This is a hand-me down family traditional recipe. It is crowd pleasen' and and gives a flare to spinach. The recipe starts back with our 4th great Grandma on my hubby's side. Over the years, we have never tried to improve it, it taste as good now as all those years back when Don was a child.My daughter makes it for us all the time, as she was the chosen one to have it passed down to. One of her many Special Talents. This was orginally made with Poke, though it is hard to find, as it grows wild.The only difference is in the taste. Spinach is not as bitter tasting as wild Poke.....~

BUTTERED SPINACH



Buttered Spinach image

I first came across this recipe scrawled in the pages of an old journal given to me by a close friend. Dated 1846 and yellowed with time, its fragile pages describe farm chores coupled with the details of household management, favorite poems, and recipes like the one below, which specifies the use of young spinach, freshly picked, and, like most old recipes, provides few details on quantity. I've adapted the recipe, substituting white pepper for black. I make it often in the spring, when tender baby spinach arrives in our CSA box weekly, until the weather grows too hot and stifles the tender greens. This recipe comes from my first cookbook The Nourished Kitchen, released just last week.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 pounds spinach ((trimmed))
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon finely ground real salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 hard-boiled eggs ((peeled and minced))

Steps:

  • Trim the spinach of any tough stems or veins, then coarsely chop the spinach leaves. Toss the spinach into a large, heavy stockpot. Set it on the stove over medium-low heat, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until completely tender.
  • Drain the wilted spinach in a colander, pressing it down to remove any excess liquid. Return the pot to the stove, add the butter, and melt over low heat. Toss in the spinach. Stir in the salt, white pepper, and minced egg, then serve.
