Recipe Introduction


"Hot Spinach Dish" From the "Mayo Clinic Williams Sanoma Cookbook" Most people I know like it served Hot.






























List of Ingredients



• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
  
• 2 Green Onions -- Chopped
  
• 2 Garlic Cloves -- Minced
  
• 1 1/4 Pounds Fresh Spinach Leaves, clean, dried, and stemmed
  
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

Instructions



1. In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat the Olive Oil. Add the Green Onions and Garlic and cook, Stirring until softened slightly, about 1 minute.
   
2. Add the Spinach Leaves, packing them in. If you can't fit them in all at once, cover the pot for about 30 seconds, to wilt the Spinach a little , then add the remaining Spinach in batches.
   
   
3. Cover the pot tightly and cook, stirring once or twice, until the Spinach is wilted and tender, but still bright green, 3 to 5 minutes.
