ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Like some of the reviews suggested, I used olive oil for the onions, etc. and broth for the spinach. What a wonderful alternative to creamed spinach, the only other spinach dish I know how to make. I love RecipeZaar!

    Oh My, this was really tasty. Was just looking for something to do with my leftover spinach and thought I would try this. Really glad I did. I sauteed the onions garlic and dill in some oil. Used Campanari (cherry) tomatoes because those are the only ones I find have any real flavor here in this City. After the onions and garlic were done sauteing I threw the tomatoes in for about 30 seconds. Sauteed the spinach in a little olive oil and not water. I really found this a delicious quick salad to put together. Didn't come anywhere near 25 minutes to cook though. And so colorful when put together. Thanks so much for posting Mary. Loved it.

    I doubled the garlic and only had on hand about half the spinach. I, too, used olive oil, and would consider trying it with chicken broth instead of the water. I don't like dill, but I stuck to it and used my dried. I also added a breath of red pepper flakes just before step five, added a splash of lemon at the end of step 7 and I DIDN'T discard the liquid. Very tasty. I had it with some leftover swordfish that I flaked and stirred throughout. This would also be nice over rice or pasta, or with some canned garbanzo or white beans thrown in. The feta was the perfect touch. Would also be nice with fresh shredded parmesan, pine nuts or some cumin. What a nice base! Thanks, Mary! I can't wait to expand on this (or just keep it simple....)!
