Easy Spinach

While some may consider pre-washed, bagged spinach food for the lazy, I feel that it has its place in the kitchen. There's nothing like cutting spinach and washing it once, twice, three times, and coming up with a wet mass of unevenly cut leaves and dirt. Splurging once in a while on a bag of pre-washed spinach reminds me that spinach is easy to cook and worthwhile. The easiest spinach of all comes from taking bagged spinach, placing the desired amount in a bowl (remember to pile it on, since it wilts), and microwaving for a minute. Once heated, the spinach can be seasoned with soy sauce, fish sauce, maggi seasoning, or your flavoring of choice.

Microwave spinach??? Woo, way to lazy it up. You might as well eat it straight out of the can, Popeye style. I say your "Easy Spinach" is too easy and is not god eats.

I prefer to throw garlic in olive oil and then saute the spinach. Add freshly ground black pepper, un poco Hawaiian red salt a little formaggio parmigiano-reggiano and voila, there you go. Bon appetit.

Dear alton,

I agree that there isn't much work involved in "easy spinach", but don't agree that it's too easy. I like that it's convenient, tastes good, and is healthy. With that, I plan to make your garlic spinach recipe and am intriged by the addition of Hawaiian red salt.

Dear Alton,
As a member of the scientology movement, I would like to let you know one of our tenents:

"What is true for you is what you have observed yourself. No beliefs should be forced as 'true' on anyone."

If you believe "Easy Spinach" is too easy, don't let anyone put you down. Eat well, and eat right.
