Now i know not all of us are Popeye, and we don't love spinach. However, with this recipe, since we add a lot of really flavorful spices you can barely taste the original taste of the spinach. Which makes it ideal for spinach haters. You get a lot of nutrients and fiber, and don't really get to taste it. You really don't need to cut up the spinach, as its going to wilt in the heat anyway, so you are saving an extra step! :)
There are so many variations to this recipe, you can add mushrooms, bell peppers,broccoli, beans, peas, carrots, and so many more.
