SPINACH CASSEROLE

     SPINACH-CASS - Spinach casserole with yogurt and cheese

     Here is a recipe for a spinach casserole that is delight-
     fully cheesy. It might even make you love spinach.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
     10 oz     spinach, chopped. Either frozen or fresh may be
               used.
     2 Tbsp    butter or margarine
     1         small onion, chopped
     2 Tbsp    flour
     1-2 cups  plain yogurt
     1-2 cups  cheddar or parmesan cheese, grated.
               salt
               pepper

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Rinse and chop the spinach.  Place the chopped
               spinach in a heavy skillet, cover, and steam until
               wilted, stirring occasionally.  There is no need
               to add water other than what clings to the leaves
               from washing.  (If you are using frozen spinach,
               place over low or medium heat to thaw and allow
               excess water to evaporate) Transfer to small bowl.

          (2)  In a skillet, melt the butter or margarine.  Add
               the onion and cook until soft.

          (3)  Add the flour and stir for 1 minute over medium
               heat.

          (4)  Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper,
               and then gradually whisk in the yogurt.

          (5)  Add the spinach and turn to coat the leaves.

          (6)  Remove from heat and blend in the cheese.

          (7)  Pour into a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan, and bake
               for 20 minutes at 350 deg. F.

NOTES
     Don't skimp on the cheese, and use fresh cheese rather than
     prepackaged grated cheese.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 20 minutes
     baking.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
