RIVER ROAD SPINACH MADELINE



River Road Spinach Madeline image

First published in 1959 in River Road Recipes, the Junior League of Baton Rouge's community cookbook, spinach Madeline remains a favorite side dish in Southern Louisiana. Thick and creamy with a hint of jalapeno heat, it's most at home on holidays next to turkey, cornbread dressing, and green bean casserole. It's easy to make and easy to multiply for big gatherings. This may be served immediately or put into a casserole and topped with buttered bread crumbs. The flavor is improved if the latter is done and kept in the refrigerator overnight. This may also be frozen.

Instead of using jalapenos, you can substitute 1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chilies. It won't be as hot. You can also substitute turkey for the chicken.

LAURIE COLWIN'S CREAMED SPINACH WITH JALAPEñO PEPPERS



Laurie Colwin's Creamed Spinach With Jalapeño Peppers image

This recipe is from the celebrated food writer Laurie Colwin, and in some ways it is quintessentially hers. There's the delicious richness of the dish, its unfussiness and nostalgic value. There is the constant awareness of the plight of the busy home cook, those who would just as soon use a package of frozen spinach if the results are just as good as if you washed and chopped an untold number of bunches of fresh spinach yourself. And there is a twist: the jalapeños, which are a preventative measure against the gloppy blandness of steakhouse creamed spinach, adding sharpness to the dish but not too much heat. You can use either fresh or pickled jalapeños here - the latter add nice zing - and panko bread crumbs are a good substitution for fresh if you don't have them (or a few pieces of stale bread) in the pantry.

CREAMED SPINACH WITH JALAPENOS



Creamed Spinach With Jalapenos image

I made this last night and my husband said "WOW"! Not the reaction I expected from a spinach dish. We had left-overs today - still a "WOW". Use the jalapenos to your personal taste. If you're worried about the heat, seed and deveine them.
