Cooking in the Lite

This is a way to get the non-veggie lovers of your family a nice helping of vegetables. Even the kids in the neighborhood enjoyed it! It has a thicker texture and a sweet spicy flavor and a bright green color.

• 4 cups Fresh baby spinach, washed and patted dry
• 1 tsp. Fresh grated ginger
• 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg - substitute 2 eggs whites if you are avoiding egg yolks
• 1/4 cup Lite sour cream

Steam the spinach until tender
Place the spinach and any liquid from the spinach in the blender
Add ginger, vanilla, egg, and sour cream
Puree on high speed
Pour into a sauce pan and heat on medium
As the mixture simmers the egg will thicken making a soft custard consistency

Serve warm with a sprig of mint.
