Ingredients
  • 1½ to 2 Q water

  • ¼ c vegetable broth
  • ¼ c parsley, minced

Place colander in sink, add half of the spinach, and slowly pour half of the boiling water over it as you stir the spinach to help it all wilt. Press the spoon into the spinach to remove as much water as possible, then transfer the spinach to a cutting board. Repeat with the rest of the spinach and boiling water.
