Best Laurie Colwins Creamed Spinach With Jalapeño Peppers Recipes
CREAMED SPINACH WITH JALAPENOS
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.

LAURIE COLWIN'S CREAMED SPINACH WITH JALAPEñO PEPPERS
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.
