Ready in only 25 minutes, you can easily make this dish a regular item on your dinner table. Enjoy as a side dish with roasted chicken, seared fish, or serve as a main with a side salad for a lovely weeknight vegetarian meal. The familiar flavors marry well and have a brightly contrasting presentation. It is served here warm but can also be eaten at room temperature, making it ideal for summer cookouts or potlucks. Make sure to get as much moisture from the frozen spinach as you can to avoid the excess liquid on the dish. Garnish with fresh thyme and lemon zest, if desired.
