It is a simple recipe for 1 to 20,I also like to make it when I have been outside all day and you need a hardy meal:)
I love broccoli,and I cook it until there is still a crunch.
Spinach is a great basic ingredient to have on hand, I buy frozen, you can take as much as you need,
and nothing goes bad.
The combo is soooooo good over a steamy baked potato, I like to buy the yellow flesh potato's
they have a creamer texture and more flavor.
As always use what you like!
Creamy Broccoli Spinach Topping for a Steamy Baked Potato
Makes 11/2 cups (it may make more because of the liquid in the spinach)
1/2 lb broccoli
8 oz of frozen spinach
1/2 cup of milk (I used oat milk)
3 Tablespoons of butter (vegan)
1 Tablespoons of potato starch
sea salt
Wash and chop broccoli into bigger chunks, in medium pan add 1 tablespoon of butter, when melted
add broccoli, saute until there is a slight crunch.
Then add spinach to the broccoli, 2 good pinches of sea salt.
Cook until spinach is heated though and water is released from spinach.
Mix milk, starch and a good pinch of sea salt until smooth.
Then add it to broccoli and spinach mixture, and stir until thick.
When thick add the last 2 Tablespoons of butter.
Before you spoon the creamy topping, over steamy baked potato add a pinch of sea salt to the baked potato!!!
Always taste for salt, add more if you like. If you want when serving add a dot of butter on top!
For even richer, add butter to steamy potato, before broccoli mixture.
