Spinach Madeleine 


Ingredients:

2 packages frozen chopped spinach

4 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons chopped onion

1/2 cup evaporated milk

1/2 cup vegetable liquor (the liquid reserved from cooking the spinach)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 teaspoon celery salt

3/4 teaspoon garlic salt

      salt to taste

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

6 ounces jalapeño cheese, cubed

Red pepper to taste

Buttered breadcrumbs for topping

Instructions:

Cook spinach according to directions on package. Drain and reserve liquor. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add flour, stirring until blended and smooth, but not brown. Add onion, and cook until soft but not brown. Add liquid slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until smooth and thick; continue stirring. Add seasonings and cheese, which has been cut into small pieces. Stir until melted. Combine with cooked spinach. This may be served immediately or put into a casserole and topped with buttered breadcrumbs. The flavor is improved if the latter is done and kept in the refrigerator overnight. This may also be frozen.
