01 Step

02 Step
Recipe View
Add the sliced onion and saute until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
03 Step
Recipe View
Stir in the drained diced tomatoes and thoroughly drained spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is heated through and any excess moisture has evaporated, about 3-5 minutes.
04 Step
Recipe View
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
05 Step
Recipe View
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the crumbled Roquefort cheese and allow it to melt slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as the cheese can become stringy.
06 Step
Recipe View
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.
For a smoother texture, try using creamed spinach instead of chopped. You may need to adjust the cooking time to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
If you don't have Roquefort cheese on hand, Gorgonzola or another flavorful blue cheese makes a great substitute.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors and add a touch of acidity.

Jun 27, 2023Be sure to really drain the spinach well. Otherwise, the dish can be a little watery.
