Spicy Spinach—Horseradish Adds a Kick to Anything.

Cooks' Note

Nutritious spinach, a serving of which provides most of your recommended daily allowance for vitamin A, holds up remarkably well to the freezing process. Once cooked, there is very little difference in the taste or texture of fresh and frozen spinach.

Ingredients

Two 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach
1/4 cup low-fat milk

  1. Cook the spinach according to package directions, drain, and squeeze out excess water. Combine the milk, butter, horseradish, and salt in a small skillet.
