Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons water

1 cup onions -- coarsely, chopped

1 3/4 cups white beans -- cooked, or 1 15-oz. can, drained

1 10-ounce package frozen spinach

1 cup water

1 tablespoon instant vegetable stock powder

2 teaspoons dried dill -- or 1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt -- or to taste

2 tablespoons lemon juice -- freshly squeezed

freshly ground black pepper

 

Heat the water in a medium saucepan. Saute the onions for 1 minute, stirring

frequently. Add the beans, spinach, water, stock powder, dill, and salt and

bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Break up the block of spinach with a fork and stir well. Cook until the spinach

is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender.

 

If the creamed spinach seems too thick, thin slightly with lemon juice, which

will sharpen the flavors, or with water. Season with pepper to taste.

Depending upon the consistency, serve either in small bowls or on plates.
