I agree with Sue's comments. That must have been a slimy, salty mess. I'd have whizzed it in a processor and tried to balance the seasoning and texture by turning it into a smoothie.

If I would have been inclined to save the mess.

I didn't think it was that bad. Of course, for the purpose of this exercise, smoothie creation is out. Need to follow the recipe...

good for you for following the recipe. I wouldn't have, but I would have wanted more spinach per person. 35 minutes? For spinach? I'd have been so tempted to change it up - cook less, add a smidge of nutmeg
