Powered byPreparation
- Step 1
It is preferable that the spinach be steamed rather than boiled. Bring water to the boil in the bottom of a metal steamer. Place the rack over the boiling water, cover and steam the spinach until it is wilted, about three to five minutes.
- Step 2
Put the hot spinach into the container of a food processor and add the green onions, garlic, butter, salt and mustard. Blend thoroughly.

This is a classic prep for a spinach side to go with a big steak in mid-century Hollywood Steak Houses. Movie star meals from the Classic Era A few historic places and one or two ultra hip martini clubs still make this, or a variation with some cream. With a great steak and a side of mushrooms it is perfect.

If you use enough garlic this is not blend at all. I used two large bunches of fresh spinach and, as the recipe suggests, 1 cup chopped scallions. Add lemon juice and salt and red pepper. I added diced Yukon gold Potatoes. Served with tzadziki sauce along side. Great side with curried Indian roast chicken.
Andrea
This is a pretty bland recipe. Could use some Indian spices. I used two very large packages of spinach and only got enough for six people.
Weslie
very good and a good accompaniment to an indian dinner. maybe spice it up a little with cayenne, if you like. used whole milk yogurt as a side with it. maybe use more mustard for a little more kick, if you choose. will make it again with an indian dinner.
