Just Add A Splash

 Any kind of frozen vegetable is a blank canvas. Once cooked you can add anything to create a bold or delicate flavor.A dash of this. A splash of that and you have a new side dish sire to please everyone.\

I started with Wal-Mart's frozen chopped spinach

This is the perfect canvas for soy sauce and garlic powder.
It was a good, heavy splash (about a quarter of a cup) of soy sauce and about two to three heaping teaspoons of garlic powder.
Stir into the cooked spinach . You could add more soy sauce if you want. Another add in is miso and onion powder if you want a different flavor. Fresh minced garlic also works here along with olive oil and pepper flakes. The standard is butter but you could also add some lemon too for a bright fresh flavor.

I served it with  Garfdein's chcoekn nuggets elevated them . 



You could also try it with steak too for a different spin or just serve with rice for a main vegan dish.I love how the intense spinach flavor is tempered with both the soy sauce and garlic. It gives it an Asian vibe.

A dash of this .A splash of that helps any frozen veggie. Experiment and have fun, creating new dishes.
