About

This creamy curried zucchini is cooked with tender shallot, aromatic garlic and spices, baby spinach and a helping of heavy cream.

This makes a great side dish to curried meats and cauliflower rice.

  • 2 cup baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon, chopped shallot

  • ½ cup vegetable broth, bouillon or consomme
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
