Not too bad...

This is a little different ?casserole.? I made it according to the recipe. When the chickpea mixture was ready, there wasn?t anything to ?pour? over the spinach. So I ?sprinkled? the greasy bits over the leaves in layers. I used a 9x9x2 casserole dish and had a mound so high the lid pressed it down when I put it on. The results were surprising. The leaves did cut cleanly with a spoon, but the casserole turned out too salty. Perhaps a half teaspoon or less of salt would be better. Also, it was too spicy hot. Perhaps a quarter teaspoon of red pepper flakes would leave a gentler glow to the mouth. However, with those adjustments, I believe the flavor of this dish would otherwise be terrific.




Definitely Different

Even my meat and potatoes husband likes this, but with all due respect to my favorite chef, we find it vastly improved with a little fresh tomato sauce on top.




Pretty Tasty

I have made this recipe twice and the second time I forgot to cover while cooking. Big mistake. I would suggest cutting back on the wine a bit and add only as needed. I wish I knew what size casserole dish to use. I tried a 7x11 and it seemed to work ok. It is very different and tasty. I don't even care for spinach but really enjoyed the flavor. Worth a try.
