For the spinach torte

With a blender, mix spinach with the rest of the ingredients.
Coat 4 muffin-size baking cups with butter and pour in mixture.
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
TIP: You can use any vegetable (carrots, squash, zucchini, cauliflower etc), and also ricotta cheese! Just make sure the vegetables are boiled and very well drained.

We make this every year around the time we usually travel. It has become a small ritual.
Made it twice in a week to get it right. The first time I misread one step and it showed. The second time I set a timer for the part I always forget. It was worth being stubborn about.
First time I have used this vegetable at all. I had walked past it in the market for years assuming it was difficult. It is not, it just needed somebody to explain it once. I will buy it regularly now, which is what a good recipe does.
Served it warm rather than at room temperature as suggested and preferred it that way, though I can see why the recipe says otherwise.
