CREAMED SPINACH - SPENÓT FŐZELÉK

I couldn't eat it as a kid. Just try eating a whole lot of this with only a slice of bread. Only if nothing, absolutely nothing is there to eat and you are hungry. But I was never that hungry on weekdays. Other than pasta days there was a vegetables soup followed by a plain vegetable stew and bread. Fast forward a few decades and creamed spinach looks good as a side dish. Now we are talking. This is kind of nice.

CREAMED SPINACH
8 cups of fresh spinach
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 garlic clove, minced
milk
salt and pepper

• In a medium sized pot bring water to boil.
• Wash the spinach and drain.
• Cook just until limp.
• Drain and plunge into cold water.
• Squeeze out all the juices, and chop spinach finely.
• In a pot make a roux from butter and flour.
• Add the garlic.
• Stir the chopped spinach into the roux.
• Add milk to make thick sauce.
• Cook and stir until bubbles break the surface.
• Slowly simmer for 2 minutes.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
