  1. This was a very nice accompaniment to our carnitas. I did reduce the recipe down to 1/4 of the original recipe, using 3 6-oz bags of baby spinach, and got 6 servings. I do not care for mushrooms so omitted them, otherwise made as written. The spinach has a wonderful flavor which was enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
     
  2. This was delicious! Prep is not difficult but a little more detailed than I'm used to. The finished product was well worth it. A wonderful combination of flavors that compliment each other well and look appealing. There is only two of us and the recipe halved with no problem. We ate this with a grilled New York steak and are looking forward to the leftovers tonight! Yum!
