Braised Spinach and Onion (With Variations) image

This recipe has a number of variations. You can use spinach, onions, leeks, swiss chard, beet greens, bok choy or a combination of any or all. I tend to cut the butter down slightly. This is quite rich, so a little goes a long way. This dish could be served warm or at room temperature. This can be made 1 day ahead of time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
