I’m not sure how to take this. Does Homer hate it? I’ve never watched The Simpsons but I think I can assume.
no, no… that’s Homer drooling over it. He usually does that when there are donuts around…
I really just wanted to see if it would work, putting an image in the comments section. it seemed appropriate, since that’s the first thing that popped in my head when I saw this recipe. I think I’m going to make it, except I’m adding some shrimp to the mix, too.
LOL!!! Spinach is hard to eat differently. That’s why I thought this looked good.
How did you do that? It looks great.
I was thinking of adding small bits of chicken but shrimp sounds awesome too. I like meat!
To put in a pic… I put in a quick comment (in this case, “glaaaghghghgh”), and posted it. Then I clicked on “edit”, took out the word, and clicked on “img” above the text box, and put in the http: where the image appeared (I had to do a google search to find the image, and then click it until it was a stand-alone .jpg). It inserted the address with some computer-speak stuff, and once that was there, I clicked, “update comment”, and it appeared. It’s easy once you do it.
Looks delicious!! What a good way to make spinach
I do really like spinach, fresh in a salad. I have never had it cooked, other than in my lasagna. I do really like garlic too!! A LOT! This sounds good.
Homer was right. This is drool-worthy!
I made a few adaptations…
First, please note that to reduce this recipe, 1 clove = 1 cup of spinach (I had a 5 oz thing of raw spinach in my fridge, and there’s no way I could do the entire thing for one person…and that was less than 10 cups. I used 3 cloves and 3 cups of raw spinach)
I used light sesame oil, not toasted
I had big garlic cloves, so after they cooked a bit, I cut them in large chunks.
I added shrimp to the end of the garlic cooking – when they were pretty golden, but not quite ready yet. The shrimp cooks FAST.
I left out the hot pepper flakes, ’cause I don’t do hot pepper.
I would advise being a little more generous with the salt if you add some sort of meat. My shrimp needed extra.
Dang, this stuff is GOO-OOOD.
oh, yeah… and when they say a “splash”, they mean a SPLASH!!! It’s just in there to speed the wilting process, so if you put too much in, you’ll have garlic-spinach soup. Not that I know this by experience of course… (whistling and avoiding eye contact)
LOL!!! Thanks. I can’t wait to try it.
Looks good.I have fresh spinach in the fridge now..wonder if the hubby would mind this tonight.Id love it Im sure…now I suppose the sesame oil gives it a diff. flavor thats needed or can I use vegie oil?mmm..Ive never used sesme oil,may have to now.OH.Laura good idea about the shrimp!
Sesame oil does add a really unique different taste to stuff and we love it. Let us know if you liked it.
I used “raw” sesame oil… Steve likes “toasted” sesame oil, but to me that flavor is too strong. I liked it just fine with the lighter flavor of the regular stuff. I didn’t use veggie oil at all, I just did everything in the sesame.
Sounds good we eat a fair of spinach and garlic that good for ya.
