SPINACH AND TOMATOES



Spinach and Tomatoes image

A taste match made in heaven -- and easy on the budget as well. Easy to double or halve according to your family size. Sometimes we put it over pasta or rice, sometimes we put it in a bowl to dip our bread. Adding some cooked chicken or Italian sausage turns it into a full meal. You could even use it as pizza topping.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: Use fresh spinach and tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out the excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the spread. Use a hard cheese like Parmesan or Romano for a salty, nutty flavor, or a soft cheese like cream cheese or goat cheese for a more mild, creamy flavor.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the spread to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.
  • Serve immediately or store: The spread can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you're storing the spread, be sure to cover it tightly so it doesn't dry out.

Conclusion:

Spinach tomato spread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, or it can be used as a sandwich spread or dip. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, spinach tomato spread is a great recipe for any home cook.
