Recipes calling for cooked, chopped spinach vary greatly in the preparation of those delicious fresh greens. This is a no fuss way to ready your spinach leaves for greatness.
In a 1 1/2 qt. microwave-safe bowl pile in the spinach leaves. Pack them down a bit to fit as much as possible. Add 1/4 cup of water then cover with a bowl or plate that's about the size of the top of the bowl.
Microwave for 2 minutes.
Let the spinach just sit, covered, in bowl till cool enough to handle. This gives it a little more steaming time. Here it is, steamed till just tender.
Now squeeze the moisture out in handfuls, chop as desired and your fresh spinach is ready to go.
This will give you about 1 cup. I know, it's never enough. More spinach, please.
