Creamed Spinach: Submitted by: Kimmo Vallema | Date Added: 20 Dec 2020 Ingredients:

1 pound (455 g) spinach, stemmed and chopped into bite-size pieces

1/2 cup (115 g) soft silken tofu
2 tablespoons (30 g) tahini

1 tablespoon (15 ml) low-sodium tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce)

2 teaspoons (10 ml) fresh-squeezed lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

2 teaspoons (10 ml) olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Cooking Instructions:

Blanch the spinach in a large pot of boiling water until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and run under very cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.

In a small bowl whisk the tofu until smooth and creamy. Add the tahini, tamari, lemon juice, and cayenne and whisk again until well combined and creamy.

Heat the oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the drained greens and toss to combine. Add the sauce and heat for about 2 minutes, or until well coated and very hot.
