Poor Monday, what a bad reputation he has without being his fault. Whether we have rested on Sunday or not, few start the week with energy, let alone wanting to complicate our lives in the kitchen at the end of the day. That is why at home we usually resort to the blessed technology to have a rich and fast dinner with simple recipes.
The microwave is the best friend for cooking dishes of all kinds quickly and with the least effort, especially vegetables. It is therefore perfect for a nutritious but satisfying dinnercomforting and tasty, with which we can also join the ‘meatless Monday’ and not always have to resort to the typical and boring grilled steak.
So today we are going to make a rich cream of spinach in the microwave, taking advantage of the fact that still cool at night. We only need frozen spinach, a little butter, milk, flour to thicken and cheese to taste, as well as salt and pepper. We can gratin them in the oven, in the microwave itself if suitable, with a blowtorch… or simply season them with freshly grated cheese.
if you have bought fresh spinach you can also use them without problem, microwaving them very briefly in several batches until they lose their volume, and you can swap the butter for olive oil or cream it with a little cream cheese. uses rice flour or cornstarch if you have to avoid gluten, and substitute the cheese for a vegan alternative or tofu with brewer’s yeast.
