Ingredients
1 cup canned spinach
1 can (15.5 ounces) low-sodium diced tomatoes
1 can (15.2 ounces) low-sodium corn, drained
3 cups water
1 tablespoon margarine
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and clean water before beginning to prepare this recipe.
Drain the canned corn if not already drained and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the canned spinach with its liquid, the diced tomatoes with their juice, the drained corn, and the water.
Add the margarine to the saucepan and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Heat the vegetables for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and steaming throughout. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.
Remove from heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any other preferred seasonings.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
Comments
All five ingredients are staples at every Charlotte grocery chain—spinach and tomatoes year-round in produce, corn frozen or canned, margarine and water everywhere—so no special trips needed. At roughly $1.50 to $2.00 per serving depending on whether you use fresh or frozen spinach and canned or frozen corn, this is genuinely cheap weeknight cooking. The 15-minute claim is honest for a simple sauté with no chopping complications. The real strength is flexibility: it reheats well, works as a side or light main, and the ingredients are forgiving enough for tired evenings, though the recipe is a bit spare and might benefit from seasoning notes or garlic that aren't listed.
