[mik3cap]

4 T grapeseed oil
3 T garlic
pinch white pepper
2 pinches ginger
salt & pepper

Bring the oil to low medium temp.
Add garlic and spices and "bless" the oil.
Add the spinach, and toss lightly until wilted.
Add a little more salt to the spinach about halfway through wilting.

OMG, it's so delicious.

how does one "bless" oil?

The sauteed spinish and garlic sounds soooooo good. I'm such a garlic fiend....

Blessing is just a term for lightly sauteeing garlic in oil (not browning it at all, just lightly cooking it), so that the oil takes on the flavor of the garlic.

I dare say that my recipe is even better than The Sole Proprietor's spinach and garlic side dish.

I RUL.

iam starting to get into spinach, so i should try those recipes. but i would leave out tofutti cheese, i rather enjoy the real thing! does tofutti cheese taste like real cheese?

[mikecap.livejournal.com]

Tofutti cheese tastes close to or slightly better than the Kraft type cheese you get in individual slices. I definitely like real cheese better, but I've just been cutting down on dairy in general. These days when I'm having real cheese, I just want to enjoy the cheese on its own with crackers or in a grilled cheese sandwich or on nachos or whatever. :)

The spinach and garlic recipe came out AWESOME. I totally have to make more.

You RULE
