IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN as Kermit the Frog sings to us. Why not? It should be, as greens are not only good for us but also because they can be incredibly delicious, especially when made from a recipe such as this one for Creamy Garlic Spinach—which is similar to dense well-seasoned steak-house spinach. This is the spinach I learned to love as a child, except my Mother made it with fresh spinach she chopped, after cooking the leaves, in a well-worn wooden bowl with a two-bladed rocking cutting tool having a green handle. She poured the hot strained spinach cooking liquid into a tall glass and handed it to me to drink as she also did with cauliflower, green bean, and carrot water so that the vitamins in these vegetables went into me instead of down the kitchen sink. After all these years, I still follow this practice. Do try this spinach recipe, which has converted spinach haters into spinach lovers. EnJOY Frozen spinach works well in this recipe. There is no advantage to using fresh spinach, and it is much more work. These measurements are not too specific and can be varied according to taste. As creamed spinach freezes well, one might as well make a large quantity and have it on hand.
