Spinach Stew

Swedish Spinach Stew with Sausages.
Mustard is the condiment of choice for this dish.
This mustard was purchased at Choux Choux Charcuterie (a french deli) here in Victoria, BC.
























I was first introduced to Spinach stew while visiting my husband's family in Sweden. My husband is Swedish and grew up with real, hot food as part of the cafeteria program in Sweden. The Spinach Stew is standard cafeteria fare.
When I first tried this dish it was served with fried, thickly sliced processed meat (like Baloney, sp?).

My husband and I started making spinach stew at home and discovered that bratwurst is a tastier, healthier alternative to the processed meat.


On the topic of sausages, I now only buy "store-made" or butcher made sausages. Many of the pre-packaged sausages contain so many nitrites and additives. The best places I have found in Victoria for homemade sausages are Choux Choux on Fort Street, Market on Yates (Yates & Quadra) and The Red Barn Market at Mattick's farm.
