Spinach
Ingredients
- 1 pound or 1/2 peck spinach
- 1/2 tablespoonful salt
- 1/8 teaspoonful pepper
- 2 tablespoonfuls butter
Directions
If the spinach is at all wilted, place it in cold water until it becomes fresh and crisp. Cut off the roots, break the leaves apart, and drop them in a pan of water. Wash well, and then lift them into a second pan of water; wash again, and continue until no sand appears in the bottom of the pan. Lift from the water, drain, and place in a granite utensil, and add the seasoning. Steam until tender (usually about 30 minutes). Add the butter, cut the leaves with a knife and fork. Turn into a hot dish and serve at once.
