Instructions
Steamed Spinach
Remove the stems from the spinach or leave on if using baby spinach. Wash the spinach and shake off excess water. Add about 2-inches of water in the bottom of a pot with the steamer insert placed on top. Add spinach to the pot, cover and boil the water until steam is formed. Work in batches if needed. Steam the spinach until the leaves are tender and slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes depending on the type of spinach. Season spinach with salt and pepper to taste. Blanched Spinach
