Most of my friends when nosotros were kids ate spinach exclusively because of Popeye. I did not. I ate spinach because my mom made delicious spinach in addition to I never understood how Popeye's spinach that comes out of a tin sack could survive tasty or powerful, peculiarly without yogurt. Here's my mom's recipe; well-nigh her recipe, because I made a few moderations inwards years.

1 1/2 pound (app. 700 gr.) spinach, fresh, chopped into seize amongst teeth sizes- infant spinach would survive good, too!
1 big onion, finely chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, sliced

1/4 loving cup rice, definitely white
1/3 loving cup milk or yogurt (milk helps amongst that weird sense of savour on your teeth later eating spinach) [half&half or fifty-fifty heavy cream could survive overnice in addition to creamy every bit well]
1 loving cup hot water
1/2 tsp (or every bit much every bit yous want) dark pepper
salt
pepper flakes
