Spinach Tejano' for Barry

I love to cook. And I love to cook with fresh, real foods. After all, that's what we grow here at the Rockin H Ranch. Real Farm Foods. Real beef, pork, chicken, lamb, raw milk, eggs, honey, and seasonal produce. Makes me want to get in the kitchen right now.

Except my stove is going out. I think I'm going to ask for one for Christmas. That's not too much to ask, do you think? Especially since it took an hour and a half to cook a frozen pizza the other night. (I know, frozen pizza doesn't fall into the "Real" category, but I have my downfalls. Pizza is one of them!)

Anyhoo, my friend, Barry, has a hoop house he has vegetables growing in all winter. I should really talk to him about getting some of those organic veggies! So, here's a recipe he asked for that we love at our house.

Spinach Tejano'

1. Melt butter in a skillet. (I don't measure well--I'd guess it's about 3 Tbsp.)















2. When butter is melted, sprinkle in a generous amount of chili powder. A very generous amount! (Maybe 4-5 Tbsp?)

3. Let it bubble until your kitchen smells heavenly. This won't take long--don't let the butter burn!














4. Add spinach, preferably fresh. I didn't have fresh, so I used a bag of frozen, 1 lb.














5. Saute' until well wilted and the spinach has soaked up all the butter and chili powder. Heat through.



















6. Salt with sea salt and serve immediately. What a dish! (The cook is cute, too!)
