I liked the idea, so I substituted Swiss chard for the spinach. Did not have any duck/plum sauce, but found some leftover cranberry sauce in the fridge (yeah, the jellied kind - love it, can't help it) so I melted that in to the sauce instead. Also added a touch of garlic (!). Really, really good. I am trying to eat more dark leafy greens but am not a big fan of bitter, so this does a nice job of moderating the bitter flavor of the greens and still letting me eat healthier.
