Spinach főzelék

Spring arrived…. It is time to make nice veggie dishes. I like the spinach főzelék.

Főzelék it is a vegetable type of dish. Főzelék is a special category in Hungarian cuisine, not quite like a soup and thinner than a stew. It is simply cooked, typically by simmering, not mashed. It is usually not cooked with meat, but bacon and spicy sausage may be added for flavor. Főzelék is often eaten as the main course for lunch or like a garnish for different meat courses. Főzelék is typically a home-made food, and being considered as an ordinary type of meal, it seldom (or never) appears on restaurant menu apart from that of cheap diners.

Unfortunately the kids don’t like it. We tried even the Popey story but it doesn’t work for them. I noticed that they like the taste of it, but the colour….

Ingredients: 300 g spinach leaves 2 garlic cloves 100 ml milk, salt.
I clean the spinach leaves from the stalks. I  wash them in cold water. I start to cook the leaves in a big sauce pan. When they are ready I strive and blend them.
I put the blended spinach in a pan I add the two smashed garlic cloves, season with salt add the milk and cook it for like 5 minutes.
I serve it with sausages or fried eggs.
